This is a “Nature” Blanc de Blanc and bone dry. I used to not enjoy Nature’s so much not long ago. Then, I gravitated to EB’s and once that got put into gear, Nature’s came naturally

The first sip is delicious. It starts with bruised pear/red apple, married to a strong presence of volcanic minerals, bitty, gritty chalk/limestone and elevated white spice, tropical melons follow-yellow watermelon, not very ripe mango, some pineapple, white stone fruits, green apple follows & circles the above, graham cracker crust, vanillin, caramel, biscuits, sea spray to saline, sea fossils-oyster shells, dry river stone, yellow & white flowers set in greens, hints of jasmine, fruit blossoms, crisp acidity, incredibly well balanced/toned/structured, great length w/ a beautiful finish that lasts two-minutes and long sets on spice & minerals.

Beautiful Champagne that will benefit from 5 plus yrs of cellaring. — 20 days ago

Pale yellow, muted nose….brisk acidity. It’s mellows on the palate and has a fantastic finish. Great with food — 7 months ago

Valencia oranges. Punches way above its weight. Drinks like a grower champ.

Super fine and refined and the Chinese food, specifically the scallion pancakes, brought this alive. Super pure and yeasty with outstanding mousse. — 3 months ago

Bright straw yellow. Inviting nose of stony dried apple and citrus rind. Lean (with a touch of the rich) palate echoes the apple but leaves behind the citrus, replacing it with toasted fine white bread. Finish is moderately long and continues the palate. Excellent starter, but with enough heft for a main meal of seafood, pork, or poultry. Drink when you buy it. — 6 months ago
