It is pale like a summer dawn: in the glass, it radiates light. Its nose is frank, pure, straight, deep and has great character. In the mouth, it is precise, its minerality is tense, dry, mouthwatering, contrary, Baroque again. And finally, it delivers the rich aromas of a brioche just out of the oven; in other words, it embraces tenderly after having been put to the test. This truly excellent wine certainly is full of promise. Food Pairing: This powerful, concentrated wine is worthy of sensual foods with deep complex taste. Truffles come to mind, a chicken stuffed with truffle mousseline, or quite simply a truffle camembert or brie. A sole meunière would do equally well, an oven-roast turbot, a golden shoulder of lamb. Or, why not, a cream of cèpes gently cooked under a sealed pastry lid? And so on to the show-stopping patisserie centrepiece.

Smoke and salted butter notes accent dried apricot, kumquat and mineral flavors, while intense acidity drives this to the moderate, floral finish. Drink now through 2015. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 3,334 cases imported.

The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs is soft, generous and very pretty in its expression of varietal fruit. Full malolactic fermentation and base of 2002 wine makes this an especially round Blanc de Blancs. This bottling is mostly sourced from vineyards in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (2/3) with the rest coming from Avize and Cramant. This wine sees 5 years on the lees instead of 7 for the vintage. The NV Blanc de Blanc is not imported into the US, but is available in other markets. This bottle was disgorged in early 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011.
