Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne Chardonnay

Biscuits on the nose. Grapefruit and lemon extract. Sunflower husks, grilled carrot, cornflower, lemon bread, and a folding of butterscotch pudding over diatomaceous earth, lime leaf and chalk. Hard soda bread crust with exquisite lemon pulp and pith interplay. White pepper, iron shavings, salt and lime. Intensely balanced and intricate in its nuances. #Haton #Champagne #blancdeblancs #bubbles

Olive pips, brioche, pomelo, tangerine pith and lemon custard nose with a circus peanut candy whiff. Briny lemon entry that eases into candied peel, olive notes echo the scents, and a hard race to a very lemon and caper fulfillment that shimmers with crystalline citrus nectars. Far from moribund, this one scores big where other '05s have given up the ghost! That's the spirit! #champagne bubbles #frenchsparklingwine

Vanilla lemon pudding bordering on creme brûlée or tiramisu without being obtuse or manufactured. This is pure fruit and exquisite! The tartar tinged, biscuity goodness shines through a silky smooth mousse, and an incredibly long, satisfying finish! This 2005 is perfect in every way!!!

Not a winner; oxidized aromatics & coarse & short on palate

Next time I'm going for an extra brut. Kinda bitter on the finish --way to sweet and the finish was unpleasant.

A short trip to Sologne where we discover Blanc de Blancs champagne in Orléans just after visiting the cathedral and its summer organ concert. On the nose, a lightness with hints of vanilla and white flowers. On the palate, pleasant fine bubbles with citrus flavors and a touch of minerality. The final is very nice, lack of length.

I was already drunk. This was good.

Lovely Champagne with aromas of green apples. Pairs well with spicy food.

Not as a good as its blanc de blancs pals.

croccante, delicato pieno di frutta bianca, matagliente e agrumato al palato. Abbastanza complesso con acidità nervosa un po scomposta
