L'avis des experts

Gilbert & Gaillard:

Glistening golden hue. Expressive, complex nose marrying floral and fruity tones with menthol notes and a touch of biscuit. Very delicate feel on the palate with the same intense aromas. This is a rich, complete and mature Blanc de Blancs.

Falstaff:

The nose seems very mature, the wine is golden, more so than one would expect from 2006. The nose has a touch of earthiness, of baked Emmenthal with a hint of white field mushroom. The palate also is evolved, showing much concentration, the mature flavours evoking duxelles. A candied lemon note highlights the earthiness and a lovely phenolic edge brings out the essential saltiness and rich umami notions of the long, intense finish.

Wine Enthusiast:

This Blanc de Blancs is the ultimate in the style of this producer, which is known as a Chardonnay house. The relatively high dosage does not detract from the mineral texture, the citrus and green-apple flavors and the lively aftertaste of this wine. Drink now. (Roger Voss)

James Suckling:

There’s a strong, savory edge here with mellow, grilled cashews, as well as honey and white-nougat aromas. The palate has quite a rich and densely fruited feel with cashew, savory notes at the finish and a very savory feel overall. Drink now.

The Wine Advocate:

The 2006 Brut Blanc de Blancs Belle Epoque unfurls in the glass with aromas of warm biscuits, nougat, confit lemons and dried white flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, broad and charming, with a delicately textural attack, a bright but open-knit core, pinpoint bubbles and a rounded, giving finish. Expect more biscuity complexity to emerge with bottle age. (William Kelley)
