Champagne Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Extra Brut
-- Jeb Dunnuck: The NV Champagne Blanc De Noirs Extra Brut has a bright yellow straw color and is the second release, with a base vintage of 2019, and features only 21% reserve. The reserve wines in the blend are from 2018, 2016, and 2015. I love the intensity and focus of this wine, with notes of sea spray and fresh black fruits, including black cherry. It has a structured yet not austere character, featuring a fabulous compact core of purity and ripe black fruits, as well as refined citrus oils of orange peel and salty earth. It's vertical, yet rich, compact, and long on the palate. This is a wine that ages without a problem and, in a way, requires some time, but I do love where it’s at now. Disgorged in November 2023 with a 3 gram per liter dosage.
