Lancelot - Courtois
Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Tradition Brut Champagne
One of my favorite sparkling in a long, long time. Pear, honey, toast, full mouthfeel, some salt. Complexity. Liz could only have a taste. Noting to get her a bottle later. — 4 years ago

Instant Present Brut Blanc de Blanc Champagne
‘95 vintage, yellow fresh fruits, Chardonnay base, but not buttery at all. Delicious solo or with fruit juice. — 9 days ago

Millésimé Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne 2011
Outstanding blanc de blanc! Nose of flowers, honeysuckle, bread, lemons. Palate was a lemons, lemon curd, something herbal, I think some barrel influence which is really nice. So we’ll balanced. — 4 years ago

First time with this producer.
100% grand cru Chardonnay (Cramant, Avize, Chouilly); 80% 2017 vintage (base), 20% from Solera dating back to 1998; 3.5g/l dosage; disgorged January 2022
I was fortunate to get this bottle that was already three+ years past disgorgement so this champagne was in a good window. Bright lemon and citrus-forward aromatics; floral too (honeysuckle). Took some time for any sort of yeasty/brioche to come around, but a little bit began to appear after the first glass. The time on lees helped give this some depth to avoid the harsh/overly intense profile some young grower BdB champagnes can posses. Chiseled but all things in their correct place. An elegant style with classical mineral/chalky limestone, lemon cream and added citrus. This leans on the lighter-side, so the use of dosage here likely helps broaden the palate in texture and length to prevent an overly-light (and/or austere) profile. — 14 days ago
