Champagne Grand Cru Réserve Perpetuelle Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut
-- Jeb Dunnuck: The NV Champagne Grand Cru Reserve Perpetuelle, which includes wines going back to 2006, comes entirely from the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and was vinified and aged in oak barrels. A bright yellow/straw color in the glass, the nose is beautifully layered and compelling, with refined, decadent aromas of fresh baked brioche, poached apples, a hint of praline, and lemon bars. Medium-framed yet rounded, it fills the palate with fantastic balance and a harmonious feel. Its refined mousse frames the wine beautifully, it has a lovely silky texture throughout, and the focus through the finish is remarkable. It’s a superb wine, and I love it. The winemaker has really found his stride over the past several years, so if you’ve been sleeping on these wines, now’s the time to check back in. It’s a lot of wine for less than $100. Bravo. Drink 2024-2044. It was disgorged in December of 2022 and has zero grams per liter of dosage.
