Ruinart Champagne Blanc de Blancs is de meest bekende Champagne van dit fenomenale Champagne huis. Helaas ook de meest exclusieve aangezien er ieder jaar een te kort is aan de juiste druiven voor deze bijzondere Champagne. De Chardonnay druiven zijn afkomstig van de beste wijngaarden van Ruinart en van de gecontracteerde wijnboeren en allen opgegroeid in de Côte des Blanc. Dit gebied binnen de Champagnestreek heeft het beste klimaat en terroir voor de Chardonnay druiven. Hier kunnen deze druiven zorgeloos en in alle rust opgroeien. Alle druiven voor deze Ruinart Champagne Blanc de Blancs worden met de hand geoogst. Hierdoor ontstaat er een enorm strenge selectie voor alleen het beste fruit. U begrijpt wellicht dat alleen het beste goed genoeg is voor deze bijzondere champagne.Waarom is deze Ruinart Blanc de Blancs nu zo bijzonder?
Met honderden jaren ervaring en diepgaande expertise slaagt Ruinart er jaar na jaar in om sublieme champagnes te produceren. De oorsprong van dit champagnehuis gaat terug naar 1729, met een geschiedenis die verweven is met Dom Thierry Ruinart, een Benedictijn en vertrouweling van de pionier van mousserende wijnen, Dom Perignon. Bijzonder aan deze Blanc de Blancs is dat er enkel gekozen is voor de Chardonnay druiven. Vrijwel alle andere Champagnes bestaan uit meerder druifsoorten waardoor er makkelijker een juiste blend gemaakt kan worden. Indien er alleen Chardonnay gebruikt kan worden is deze blend van verschillende Chardonnay druiven en vintage jaren een stuk moeilijker. Daarbij is een Blanc de Blancs Champagne ook nog eens erg gevoelig voor licht. De prachtige goudgele kleur die deze Champagne met zich mee draagt is erg fragile. Zodra deze Champagne dagen in het daglicht wordt gezet in deze blanke fles zal de kwaliteit van de Champagne achteruit gaan. Bewaar deze dan ook altijd op een donkere plaats.De bijzondere smaak van Ruinart Blanc de Blancs
Wat ook zeker bijzonder is, is de smaak van deze geweldige Champagne. De geur is rijkelijk en vol met mooie zuivere aroma’s van tropisch fruit, lichte hinten van citrus en aangename minerale tonen. De smaak, daar moesten wij toch even goed voor gaan zitten. Vol, rijp en dik was het eerste wat wij noteerden. Daarna kwamen de smaak nuances van tropisch fruit met een mooie afwisseling van citrus, gele room, brioche en lentebloesem. De afdronk is met het fijne mondgevoel van de subtiele mousse werkelijk waar een feest van voor naar achteren!Shipping Notes

This was more than I expected...
Format: Kindle
So...I finished this book at nearly 2am! It was just that hard to put down. I loved that it's set in the same world as Fates Hollow but in the future. Poor Pandora has been through so much but there's light at the end of the tunnel for her. She finally meets her dad and it turns out he's amazing. In order to help her learn about demon society and how to control her magic he sends her to the Demon Reform Academy. There she meets 2 awesome demons who help her and care for her. She also sadly meets her 3 tormentors. I will say though that while they do bully Pandora they also rescue her several times and defend her. They too have traumatizing pasts and can't see the good that is in front of them. Of course demon society needs to be shaken up too since that's part of the problem. I really enjoyed this read. I teared up a few times throughout the book but I liked the characters and that ending...well it looks like 3 in denial are going to need to grovel hard.

MUST READ BOOK!!
Format: Kindle
I was in a huge reading slump, when one of my favorite authors recommended this book in her readers group (The amazing Marie Mistry 🫶) and I absolutely DEVOURED this book. Now I’m in the club crying about having to wait until December for Term 2!
This book is about a girl named Pandora who has suffered a life that nobody would ever wish to have. This book is about Pandora learning how to live, learning about herself and what she really wants. She has a long journey to find out all of these things, but she took the first steps in this book and it was beautiful to read. Some of the men in this book are our dream men, Hunter and Reed 😍 and then we have the men who need some work and who we all really just want to beat up until they admit what they really feel, Skel, Bram and Dexter. But that cliffy was a killer and I absolutely cannot wait until the next book!!
You have written an absolute dream of a book Lyra and I eagerly await the next installment in this series!!!

One of the best reading experiences I’ve ever had
Format: Audiobook
This was truly AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! In every possible way.
- the setting. I loved the steampunk/gaslamp setting with trains, overcast weather, and mafia vibes
- the magic. I still don’t entirely understand the magic system and descendants as much and it took awhile for me to get my footing in that department- and I am intrigued beyond measure, though it in no way lessened my enjoyment of the story. I just really wish I had a better grasp of it.
- the plot itself. Beautiful. The tropes were troping in the absolute best way. Every single thing that happened I was like YES MORE!!!
- the writing. I found myself grinning ear to ear uncontrollably during my entire read through and full on choking on my gasps, again, like the entire read through. And I read this too at times when I was in an awful mood so the way this book was an INSTANT pick me up really speaks to how well this was written. I was having the absolute best time, non stop.
- the characters. The best part oh my gosh. Camilla is SUCH a badass. Her and Nico are supposed to be low 20s and I gotta tell you they read more like 30s from how capable and mature they are (not that that age bracket is incapable or immature, just comparing them to other characters written in that age range). She is the type of cool as heck character that everyone would be cos-playing as and if it was a kid movie, every single girl would dress as her for Halloween. She’s that awesome.
Nico is top freaking tier. I gotta say his hairstyle is my undoing and with the addition of the metal arm- before I even started reading the book I was in love with him. And he was EVEN BETTER than my lofty expectations. This man. Perfect in every single way. Every. Single. Way. If I start now I won’t stop so I’m just gonna leave it at that. Camilla and Nico are power couple of the century though and the way they interacted was the most toe-curling/squealing/kicking your feet banter I’ve read in a while. PLUS the way they fell for each other was a gem. I was falling in love with their relationship right along with them.
- a shout out to the side characters too. Aramis, Gideon, Aunt Fran, Esme, Luther, Adler [honestly just insert all the supporting cast they were freaking phenomenal] brought so much life and personality to the story and helped round out Nico and Camilla. I really really really would absolutely adore if Adler got some more spotlight time in the future because he and Aramis are up there with “let’s give these side characters their own spinoffs”.
Also, the villains were great too. I love a great villain in a story and sometimes I don’t think they get highlighted as much in books as in movies or TV that I hear of.
If it wasn’t obvious already- this was even greater than a 5 star read. This was perfection- in quality and in vibes- and it was one of the most enjoyable reading experiences I have ever had and I’m not throwing that around lightly. I have scenes from this book playing in my mind unbidden on repeat and I know this world has so much more to be explored. I will read anything Alexis L Menard puts out in the future

Great mix of maffia and magic
Format: Kindle
This one felt really unique to me, with a great and successful blend of Twenties-feeling maffia and inventive magic. I liked both the main characters a lot, even though I found myself almost shouting at the MFC sometimes. She really should learn not to trust everyone just because they're family!
All in all a good read, with lots of romance, yearning and some spice as well.

So close to being good
I really wanted to like this book. It had all the makings of a strong, interesting story, but the plot got so convoluted that it was hard to follow. Also, for a "badass" FMC, Milla was amazingly inept. The writing got really stilted at times too. I will probably still read the next one anyway, because I'm curious to see where the plot goes.
