The 2016 Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Terre de Vertus 1er Cru is fabulous. Comprised of 100% Chardonnay from two mid-slope parcels in Vertus, it is perfumed and exotic, with striking aromatics. This cuvée straddles the line between still and sparkling wine. Lime, mint, white pepper and chalk lend tons of high-toned character. The 2016 is really quite compelling. Bottled with no dosage. Disgorged: November 1, 2023. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2023)

Blanc de Blancs, 100% Chardonnay from vineyards in the premier cru village of Vertus, in the Côte des Blancs (40% of wines from the estate’s reserve). Low dosage. Notes of vanilla and yeast. Mostly green apple on the palate. Dry, great chalky texture, somewhat reminiscent of Jura white — 4 months ago
Darker salmon coloration. On the nose, strawberry, apple and pear. On the palate, tight bubbles, and the palate seems to mirror the nose. The finish is extraordinarily long and pleasant with the strawberry, apple, pear and minerality. Very crisp. — 6 months ago

Nice soft mousse body, yellow peach, tropical melons, pineapple, some lemon meringue, lime zest, slightly bitter apple cider, whipped cream, hard chalkiness, alluvial limestone, saline, sea fossils, bread crust, yeastiness, yellow florals, racey acidity, nicely balanced & structured with a finish that lasts 90 seconds.
Needs a few more years in bottle. — 12 days ago
