Note di degustazione
Full bottle 1,591 g. 100% Chardonnay from grand cru vineyards (Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger) in the Côte des Blancs. Base wine 2020, reserve wine 2019. Base wine is spontaneously fermented in oak barrels with full malo, 10 months on fine lees without bâtonnage, fining or filtration. 27 months sur lattes. Disgorged October 2023, dosage 0 g/l. If I hadn't scrutinised the back label for background information before tasting this wine, I would never have guessed that this was zero dosage. The golden, honeyed, baroque weight of this wine is extraordinary. Quince and liquorice lacework. Nectarine and smoked cream. Needle-fine pointwork of elderflower embroidery. There is grandeur and power in the structure beneath luminous, feathery brushwork of acidity and flavour. It's just a little idiosyncratic, curling away from the main track of champagne with vermouth-like snags of honey and bitterness and tiny swirls of medicinal botanicals. The bubbles hiss and rush like foam on waves up the beach, and then pull back leaving slow, ragged traces of lace. A champagne that deserves to be drunk thoughtfully at the table with great food.

The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Grands Blancs emerges from vines in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger, vintages 2020 and 2019. It offers terrific palate presence and fine balance to match. Although bottled with no dosage, Les Grands Blancs is not at all stark. Rather, it boasts very fine pliancy and persistence, qualities that are amplified through vinification and élevage in barrel. Lemon confit, marzipan, dried flowers, chamomile and spice build nicely in the glass. This is beautifully done. Disgorged: March 2024.
The NV Extra Brut Les Grands Blancs Grand Cru, based on the 2019 vintage with reserve wine from 2018, was picked in Oger and Mesnil-sur-Oger and spent 3six months on lees. Despite the extra brut label, this received no dosage. Salty, buttery shortcrust pastry is the first impression on the nose. The palate dances against a cool, soothing, chalky backdrop. The mousse is fine, and the finish is bone dry and lemony. Slenderness and elegance define the wine. Disgorged: June 2023.
92 points – Claire Nesbitt, jamesuckling.com Bright and more fruit-driven than the vintage wines, this has bright lemon and white-grapefruit aromas, as well as salted almonds. It's fresh, creamy and well balanced with a fine mousse. 100% chardonnay from Le Mesnil sur Oger and Oger. From organically grown grapes. Disgorged May 2023. Drink now.
