Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90 minutes. The Harmonie pours a bright straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with lovely notes of yellow apple, white flowers, star fruit, lemon curd, limestone and chalky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+. This is a delicious BdB from the Côte de Bar that gives Chablis vibes (if Chablis had bubbles of course). Drink now through 2035. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass

P.S. this is likely the last of the clear glass bottles for Harmonie as they will be moving to dark glass in the future. — a month ago

Pure pleasure - rapacious opening revealing a creamy core buttressed with ample mousse, acidity. Bread, lemon curd, and just enough RS. Perhaps the best NV BdB we’ve had in recent memory. Love the recherché label, floral pattern straight from your auntie’s tea cozy—please never change. (Extra point for QPR) — 4 years ago

Disg. 2/14 (07 base)…Always my favorite of the Lieux-Dits and without question one of the very best Blanc de Blancs Champagnes on the planet, it’s particularly special to have with some bottle age. It’s absolutely as stunning as hoped—rich and powerful with crazy depth to its layers with a deep, complex core of caramelized orchard fruit, roasted nuts, old rum barrels and candied white flowers, all with seamless integration. The palate is generous and detailed, with racy acids, waves of saline laced, chalky Le Mesnil minerals and a finish that just stays with you. A BdB benchmark, legendary bubbles. — 3 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two hours. The C+C BdB Extra Brut pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of white peach, green apple, lemon bar, brioche, marzipan, and chalky minerals. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is super creamy. This is an outstanding NV champagne based on the 2019 vintage. Just over 7000 bottles produced. Drink now through 2034. Disgorged in July of 2020. — 8 months ago

An impeccably balanced Extra Brut BdB showing a lovely combination of bright fruit and autolytic notes. This was a wonderful accompaniment to our sunny afternoon in Södermalm. — 3 years ago

This is the Blanc de Blanc Grand Cru with fruit sourced from Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger from mostly the 2017 vintage and some from the 2016 vintage. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The NV BdB Grand Cru pours a light straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is youthful with notes of tart fruit: green apple, star fruit, split almonds, limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is super fresh and easy to love, in the house style. Drink now but could easily be cellared for years. Disgorged Q2 of 2023. — 7 months ago

Nice BdB, pale lemon color with aromas of citrus, floral and biscuit notes, fine bubbles and light mousse. On the palate flavors of crisp apples, pears and lemon zest with notes of warm bread and savory mineral. Long complex ending with fruit and toasty warm biscuit character. Very nice! — 3 years ago
