Napa Valley Brut Blanc de Blancs 2013

One of the best entry level BdB anywhere. With some years of bottle age, this ‘13 shows great.
Clean and expressive on the nose. The ever so slightly oxidative notes is lovely. Vigorous fine mousse. Palate is crisp with a round edge.
Magnum.

Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne

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

à Cramant Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne

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

Harmonie Blanc de Blancs Champagne

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

Date of Tirage: 07/17/2023
Disgorged 01/22/2025
Dosage: 1g/L

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.

Lieux Dits Les Carelles Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

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. — 8 months ago
