Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

This Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs cuvée N/V truly combines the finest expression of the characteristic freshness coming from the Avize terroir, in Reims, France. The 100% Chardonnay grapes selected for this Champagne are harvested and pressed by the family on their premises. Everything, including the traditional process is centered in Avize, The musts and the completion of the winemaking process are fully vinified by Olivier Bonville in the heart of the village.

The results; an extremely aromatic on the nose with solid notes of candied lemon peel, and some fresh zesty lemon. On the palate, it shows its substance of its richness from the aging on lees and the winemaking precision and complexity brought by Olivier Bonville, a winemaker of the Côte of the Whites.

The mouthfeel as overall, particularly on the mid-palate is driven with a lot of finesse and elegancy with brioche flavors, and the finish is long with some chalky character and diversity. Cheers!

For all things there is a first. The cork while twisting it out of the bottle snapped in half. I had to take the rest out with a cork screw.

I really enjoy their work. The quality is really good and for $99 in today’s champagne market if you buy it right, it’s still fairly priced. I’ve had much more expensive champagne with bigger brand names that aren’t this good. I’m enjoying this over some Krug N/V’s I’ve had.

Nice mousse, lively crisp acidity, bruised golden/red apple, bruised Bosc pear, lemon/lime pulp w/zest, some pineapple-mango, blood orange led citrus blend, grapefruit, ginger-ale, some yeastiness, baguette, graham cracker crust, white spice w/palate heat, grainy, grey volcanic minerals, limestone, hints of mint leaves, frothed cream, vanilla, caramel-light brown sugar notes, sea fossils, undertones of saline, withering yellow flowers/lilies, white-spring flowers with greens, jasmine, excellent acidity, well structured-toned-balanced and a fine elegant finish that lasts two-minutes and long sets beautifully on volcanics & spice.
