Loved this. Great freshness, huge power right now and would age forever. Also not backwards or un-fun. Powerful, non-oxidative Blanc-de-Blancs with appropriate dosage. I just wish I had a case. You don't see these wines as much as you should.

Verve, tension, whatever you want to call the electric nature of this wine, it's there. Pear, apple, chalk, spice, lots of hell yes.

08 Dhondt Mes Vieilles Vignes BdB. Chet and I traded a few bottles of bubbly and I was the lucky recipient of this one. What a beautiful wine. Creamy pretty layered fruit, very smooth and refined, nice mousse, great length, a very lovely Champagne that reminded me of Comtes. Need more!

2008 Grand Cru Blanc de blancs. A stunning addition to brunch, so much heft, yet so drinkable.

Toasty, underlying richness balanced by fresh acidity, chalky minerality on the finish, excellent Champagne!
