"This NV drinks with style and distinction to rival most houses's vintage wines, showing browned apple and spiced almond biscuit aromas - rich, savoury and complete. It has weight and depth - the quite ripe fruit gives a rich impression - some white musky lift, and a chalky, long finish."

"The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru is elegance personified. Smoke, minerals, chalk and pears emerge as this generous yet subtle wine opens up in the glass. Sweet floral notes develop with air, but minerality is this wine's calling card, particularly on the finish, which is incredibly elegant and refined. Simply put, this is gorgeous juice. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2013."

As the name suggests, this is 100 per cent Chardonnay (from Vertus 1er cru, and Grands Crus Cramant, Avize and Oger), a classic aperitif style - in the best sense of that term. The blend is predominantly 60 per cent 2005 and 40 per cent reserve wine from 2004 and 2002, and a dosage of 4gm.
This elegant bottling has what we look for in Blanc de Blancs: a vivid, lively blend of deep fruit and vanilla flavors, soft but ample mousse and a lingering finish. 88 points, www.winespectator.com.
