Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Champagne, France
This is the Blanc de Blanc Grand Cru with fruit sourced from Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger from mostly the 2017 vintage and some from the 2016 vintage. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The NV BdB Grand Cru pours a light straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is youthful with notes of tart fruit: green apple, star fruit, split almonds, limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is super fresh and easy to love, in the house style. Drink now but could easily be cellared for years. Disgorged Q2 of 2023.

This Chardonnay cuvée comes from 5 grand cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. It is a blend of 2 different years of Chardonnay. Pouring a glass I saw a pale golden yellow, fine bubbles with a tantalizing mousse and an intense bouquet of ripe fruits and toasted scents. The palate shows creamy flavors of white flesh fruits, with chalky mineral, lemons with some sweetness. The wine was elegant, well balanced with bright acidity, mineral tangy finish. Nice!

Burgundy night. Started off with a nice champagne followed by a Cali roussanne to calibrate the palates.
En mag. Crazy good. Baked apple pie. Chalky limestone. Perfect acidity...almost creamy type front palate. I believe this is ‘09 base. So good.

Biscuit dough, lemon balm, sharp as a razor and streaks across your taste buds like a lightening bolt. #bowdown

Bright and crisp with nice depth and biscuit notes on the finish. A fantastic NV Blanc de Blancs

Only 10 bottles in Texas. This is frickin' delicious. With a few years this will be blowing your mind.

Fruit from 5 villages in Cote des Blancs: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil sur Oger & Oger. 25% reserve wines. Partial MLF. 7 g/L. A bit disappointed here. A bit like if all is here but had been left unattended. The result is like an unfinished art work...
