The Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs from Bernard Lonclas will only be created from the very best of vintages out of Champagne, and 2013 certainly made the cut. Made from 100% chardonnay of their vineyards’ best cuvée, and seeing very little ‘dosage’ post secondary ferment, this bubbly is built to stand the test of time. And what a time it is to pop a cork and enjoy!
Still bursting with youth alongside deep complexity, expect white peach, golden nectarine and spring jasmine over the nose. The palate delivers a precise mineral core and long lashings of nutty nougat and refreshing citrus. Feel free to cellar this for another 10 years with ease, if you can resist the temptation to drink it all now with your nearest and dearest. In fact, why not treat yourself to two cases and do both!
