1 of the best BdeB I tasted, made from less than 2 acres Belles Voyes vineyard in Oger, vines planted in 1920’s, juice aged in old casks pre-bottling. Compare to those $350 boutique bottles! Showing 100-year old vine complexity, nice aromatics fine bubbles, tantalizing mousse, intense bouquet of ripe fruit. Creamy flavor of white flesh fruits, apple and pear, chalky mineral qualities, lemons with an underlying sweetness. Elegant, well balanced, bright acidity, minerality, lingering tangy finish! Enjoy 4th!

Homemade quiche Lorraine and Belles Voyes is a real Wednesday night treat. My consumption of this tiny production, 1&3/4 acre single vineyard ancient vine Champagne has impacted the world supply. What a wine- concentrated, effortless, complex, yet easy to drink.

Bonville. Top grower-producer in the shop. Belle Voyes. One of the best Champagnes anywhere.

Wow, so much character and personality in this single vineyard. If I recall correctly there is some oak aging on this. So much depth and flavor: mineral of course but some handsome age quality and balance of sweetness and acidity. Very special.

2004 base. Aged at home. Seems to have come along and added fat since the last bottle. Creamier and nuttier. Very nice, though perhaps not extremely deep. Still curious to see what further aging will do.
