Review Date: 07/2024I like the biscuit and brioche aromas here. Some fig, walnut and apple crumble, too. It’s rich an creamy with delicious, toasty undertones. Rounded yet very fresh finish. Disgorged in 2023. Dosage 3g/L. Drink now. (CN)

The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs CV1930 Blanc de Blancs is a pure Chardonnay, with over half of the grapes picked in Vertus, 21% in Cramant and 27% in Bergères-les-Vertus. Based on the 2019 vintage with 56% reserve wines, it was fermented in stainless steel and matured on lees for 39 months. The nose is gently savory, suggesting salty corn husk, while the palate offers a silky mousse that pulses through the slender, sinuous body. This elegant wine leaves no doubt about its Côte des Blancs origins—a quintessential Blanc de Blancs of real elegance. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: September 2023. (AK)
Notes
The "C" in this hampagne is for the 21% Cramant, while the "V" is for the 52% Vertus in this all Chardonnay Champagne. This wine was made by the same Leflaive family as the one in Burgundy, and has great baguette and cream aromas and flavorts as well as fabulous minerality on the dry finish. -Gary Westby, K&L
