Light bright yellow hue with a steely, almost metallic aroma, dusty straw and grass-hay, with earthy/stony overtones. The palate is delicate and dry, crisp and lively, linear and slightly singular (but that's not unusual in blanc de blancs). A refined, delicate style that tapers a bit towards the finish and is well suited to oysters and other raw seafoods.
Brighter, zippier and more explosive than previous releases, the NV Brut Blanc de Blancs is immediately impressive with bright citrus tones that erupt from the glass. Medium-bodied, the palate shows immaculate precision and finesse, with succulent layers of citrus, green apples and lemon skin. A soft, nutty essence then appears from its 45 months on the lees. The wine continues to make me salivate, bringing me back for more and has me craving freshly shucked oysters and cheeses.
Croissants, toasted sourdough, white pears, acacia and lemon meringue pie. Salty almond notes on the palate. Deliciously saline and creamy, with silky bubbles and a gently toasty finish.
