Transformative week-end avec @louisechabat :
3 semaines déjà…

3 semaines que j’ai fait la première retraite de ma vie, seule, parmi d’autres femmes, baignée dans une sororité d’une puissance infinie…

J’avais peur d’y aller, peur de ne pas savoir parler à des inconnues, me présenter, me livrer… Peur aussi de toutes ces autres femmes, de leurs regards sur moi, ayant été blessé enfant par une femme en particulier (cf. ma chanson Les nouvelles sorcières).

J’en suis ressortie transformée, pas d’un coup de baguette magique non, mais avec cette sensation que quelque chose s’était ouvert en moi, et laissait infuser jour après jour tous ces mots, ces regards, ces sourires échangés durant ce week-end là.

Le retour a été comme l’atterrissage après un long vol et le décalage horaire. Pas forcément facile, mais au fil des jours, des choses se sont éclaircies pour moi. J’avance avec une force nouvelle. Je me sens différente. Je vois des choses pour moi que je ne voyais pas avant. Comme cette histoire de loi de l’attraction vous voyez ?

Alors, si vous avez envie de faire une retraite, celle-ci ou une autre, mais que vous hésitez, arrêtez de trop réfléchir. Allez-y ! Si vous y pensez tout le temps c’est qu’elle vous appelle. Tout va bien se passer 💓
J’ai adoré la retraite de Louise. Cette femme est extraordinaire, à l’écoute, dynamique et douce à la fois. On sent qu’elle se donne à fond pour toutes les femmes réunies autour d’elle. C’est vraiment magique.

Dites moi tout, vous aimeriez en faire une ? Vous n’osez pas ? Si oui, pourquoi ? Vous en avez peut-être être déjà faite ? Lesquelles ?

Is there a better combo than fresh seafood served au naturel and paired with one of the best Blanc de Blancs on the market?
•
Blanc des Millénaires 2006, the sixth release of this tremendous BdB, really stands out among its older and younger siblings with its rich and opulent character. The warm and generous vintage of 2006 truly shines through making this a more powerful and broad BdM compared to the usual elegant and more minerality driven ones. This powerhouse literally explodes with exotic and ripe fruits like mango, white peaches and sweet plums joined by juicy citrus and yellow apples. On top of it all there’s a fine chalkiness mixed with a refreshing umami note adding a well balanced elegance to this rich and fruit dominated wine. With time a subtle toastiness appear rendering yet another layer of beauty to it’s nose. The palate fits right in with the above mentioned aromas and creates a seamless transition as you drink and savour it. Rich and voluptuous fruit is matched by an equally brilliant and refined, yet somewhat downplayed, acidity keeping everything in place. Hence, if you’re into the racy steel cutting kind of acidity, this wine is not for you. The chalkiness is more pronounced on the palate and of the creamy and velvety kind, all made complete by this sensational mix of saline minerality and sweet umami. Personally I love this wine and it’s so ready to drink and enjoy!
•
Yeah, it screams seafood long way, but will work fabulously with all sorts of food and pairings thanks to its richness and generous being. And paired with a very fragrant and strong umami infused sea urchin, it truly did wonders. Not to mention the ultra fresh Tsarskaya oysters…

When you say 200 in 2022, that probably means that one of my favorite house champagnes just celebrated its bicentenary!

Champagne Charlie was his name and he was known to be one of the first to dare to cross the Atlantic and conquer the US market with his charm and unique champagne style.

Charlie, 200 years later, made us all come together and celebrate a new chapter. Not only the new chapter of the proudly reintroduced collector edition - Champagne Charlie - but also the chapter of friendship.

Charles Heidsieck has to capability to attract likeminded champagne lovers and through his champagne I met wonderful people who became close friends. It’s the pleasure of sharing that brings us together, may there be plenty more to come.

Thank you to the whole Charles Heidsieck team for your hospitality, we are proud and honored to be part of the family.

@boulaydecanonphotographies thank you for the nice pictures.

Je me souviendrai de ce cours de Cardio Dance au bord de la piscine le premier jour samedi, pendant lequel je vous ai vues lâcher prise peu à peu. Plus vous dansiez, plus vos visages et vos postures se métamorphosaient, se détendaient. C’était fou. De votre motivation sans faille, malgré les 3/4h de cours par jour. De toutes celles qui étaient déjà présentes à mon séjour à @hotelsaintebarbe en Septembre, et que ça m’a fait si chaud au cœur de retrouver. De toutes celles que j’ai rencontrées ces derniers jours, si différentes, mais si solaires, si riches, si touchantes. Je n’ai même pas pris vos Instagram pour vous taguer ici. Aujourd’hui, j’aimerais être encore avec vous pour chiller une journée de plus et refaire le monde.

Je me rappellerai aussi de cette équipe merveilleuse du @selmanmarrakech . @kamilennadifi79 , Khaoula, Nora, Kenza, et tous les autres. J’ai la chance d’aller dans de beaux hôtels grâce à mes jobs, mais votre gentillesse me frappe à chaque fois. Ce matin, la dame avec qui on discutait religion pendant qu’elle me préparait les crêpes au petit dej me manque. Et vos sourires à tous aussi.
Merci ma @camillecharriere d’être venue. Tu as beau être la Star que tu es, moi, c’est ta simplicité, ta sincérité et ton intelligence que je vois depuis qu’on s’est rencontrées il y a quelques années. @astridsmn , @morganelay , quelles belles rencontres.

@nathaliearnal , merci d’être à l’origine de ce super séjour. @oxygenlodge , il avait beau faire super froid, quel chouette moment chez vous, merci.

Ce matin, en me réveillant à Paris, je découvre les premiers témoignages des femmes violees et torturees par l’armée russe et j’ai eu cette image de nous toutes, le groupe de ce week-end, les serrer fort dans nos bras et leur transmettre toute la force et la chaleur humaine qu’on a créées ensemble ce week-end.

Je reste à chaque fois tout de même bluffée d’avoir des élèves si smarts, si chouettes, si libres, si fortes. Merci à vous toutes les filles, j’ai beaucoup de chance. Et je commence ma semaine émue par tous ces jolis moments et ces si belles Femmes. Votre force à toutes m’inspire, vous n’imaginez pas à quel point. Bravo et Merci mes Pujolettes 🤍

Charles Heidsieck ‘Champagne Charlie’ 1981 Œnothèque.
This bottle was part of the L’Œnothèque An Deux Mille 2000 release in ‘99 in order to celebrate the new millennium. Only five vintages of Champagne Charlie have been made, ‘79-‘81-‘82-‘83–‘85, and you should never pass an opportunity to drink it. Champagne Charlie is a tremendous wine and one of the true champagne ‘greats’ and this bottle was no exception.
This is a wine that’s complete in every sense of the word and a stunning example showing the true greatness of mature champagne. The balance between seasoned maturity and youthful freshness is mind blowing and with all the bits and pieces in perfect place and order. The nose is on fire with juicy ripe oranges, yellow exotic fruits, almonds, hazelnuts and biscuits dripping with honey. On top of this there’s a layer of fine chalk dust adding a touch of beautiful creaminess and minerality to its already captivating nose. On the palate it’s downright lip smackingly delicious with a ‘thick’ and vinous mouthfeel showing an incredible tension and complexity. Juicy, chalky, creamy, sweet and nutty with a freshness and acidity to die for giving it an aftertaste that lasts forever and ever!
Oh Charlie, oh Charlie, I wish our paths would cross more often...

Charles Heidsieck Champagne Charlie 1981.
It’s been almost a week since I savoured this beauty and I can still sense its juicy and deliciously honeyed nectar with a cool and elegant touch of that airy chalk dust released when writing on the blackboard in elementary school...😌💭🍾
For a more comprehensive tasting note please check out my previous post on this beautiful Charlie ‘81.
Cheers!

🍾Part 2 “Gastronomic” 🍽⁣
⁣⁣⁣
If I had to call just one house where any (!) cuvée could be nicely paired with the food, I’d say “Charles Heidsieck” with no hesitation. Even entry-level “Brut Reserve” has 40% of reserve wines with 10yr average age and a magnum of it (as you can see in the video) started our immersion into the world of gastronomy. Longer aging and… I have no clue what other secret Cyril Brun has, but my advice to you:”Buy Brut Reserve in magnums, it’s just amazing!”⁣
⁣
Then we continued our experience with 4 different dishes paired with 4 cuvées. And once again, food pairing was perfect, with the blanc de blancs "wine+food" being my favourite. I didn’t understand BdB at its launch, and now it is, probably, my favourite NV-cuvée in “Charles Heidsieck” range. So elegant, that you can enjoy for apéro, but pair it with scallops or prawns, and you’ll realise what a “gastronomic champagne” is!⁣
⁣
But there’s another dimension that I love every time I visit Charles Heidsieck - it feels like being at home. It’s really a small group of people, like a family. And once you become a part of it, you enjoy that ambience around as much (or even more) as you enjoy the champagnes. Remember, you can always buy the bottles, but the family spirit is not for sale! And of course, you always meet interesting people, so passionate about Charles. It was great to meet you in person @champagnedenmark ! Hope, we’ll have a chance to taste some nice champagnes together in future!⁣
⁣
I don’t know about this year, but I remember that Charles Heidsieck once made that experience available to public. What can I tell: if you see the announcement, go for it! Don’t be scared of hard work! ⁣
If you're strong enough to lift a bottle of champagne in one hand and a glass full of champagne in another (or, otherwise, why are you even reading my blog?), then you can handle the physical part of the harvest day. ⁣
⁣
Trust me, you'll spend an unbelievable day in a great company: neither you'll be left alone, nor your glass will be left empty!⁣
⁣
It was a day that I’ll remember for the rest of my life and where I’d like to return 🤩 Can I already book it for 2022? 🙋‍♂️

2021 marks my 5th year of Champagne harvest visit in row🎉. While I’ve been a champagne lover for a long time since my early 20s, it was April 2017 that I got more into it and decided to have pursued it in depth.

I knew almost nobody at the beginning. Now I fortunately have people whom I can call as friends and vignerons whom I want to see. More I know and visit champagne, more I understand the uniqueness, excellence and resilience that Champagne people have. Then, my passion and curiosity grows more.❤️

A big thank you to friends & vignerons, who made time to meet me and teach me about champagne, especially during the tough and busy harvest season of 2021. 🙏🍇

And I never imagined this instagram has grown like this. It has been slowly and organically growing…. I am not a naturally social media person and it takes me a lot of time and efforts to work on this. Now I appreciate the great community here where I can share the same passion — thanks to my followers and peer Champagne/wine lovers💛 Thank you. Without your supports, I wouldn’t have continued. I will keep it up! 🍾🥂

今年のシャンパーニュ収穫は、わたしにとって、5年目の収穫訪問でした。もともと昔からシャンパーニュが好きで現地にも行っていましたが、本格的に学ぼうと決意したのは、WSET Diplomaに取り組んでいた、忘れもしない5年半前です。

当初は、ほとんど知り合いもおらず、今思うと突撃訪問ばかりでしたが、石の上にも3年… 千里の道も一歩から… と心に決め、3年は続けてみようと思っていました。特に去年の訪問は、コロナでかなりの覚悟が必要でしたし、今年も直前まで悩みました。行くと、やはり学びが多く、何より楽しく、実りが多い旅となりました。🍇　そうして5年目を迎えられ、今では、シャンパーニュに友人と呼べる人達がいて、シャンパーニュのこと教えてくれる素晴らしい造り手がいて、知人が知人を紹介してくれるようになり、訪問できるようになり、輪が広がっています。

このInstagramも、当初300人くらいで、アカウントがあるだけの状態でしたが、何年か前にある造り手の方の一言から、考え方を改め、やってみることに。楽しみでしているとはいえ、今でも投稿には、時間と思い切りが必要で、やめようかなと思ったことも一度ではないですが、気づけばここで同じシャンパーニュやワイン好きの方たちと交流できて、実際お会いする機会もあったり、記事読んでくださったり、授業やイベントにきてくださったり、広がりに感謝です。いつもフォローやライクしてくださり、サポートしてくださる皆さんのお蔭で続けられています。ありがとうございます🥰　#champagne #yurichampagnevisit #harvest2021 #champagnelover

We are trying to ensure that we won’t run out of Charles Heidsieck champagne for our future tastings by helping to harvest the grapes at the domaine. No worries now, there won’t be any shortage!⁣
