Product Overview
94 Points - Wine Advocate
"Disgorged as an extra-brut with 3.5 grams per liter of dosage, the 2019 Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Noces de Craie reveals a ripe, pure bouquet of spices, white flowers, ripe orchard fruits and pastry. Medium to full-bodied, rich and vinous, it has a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids, a pinpoint mousse and a saline, delicate mid-palate, concluding with a long, delicately bitter, gastronomic finish. This is 100% Pinot Noir from a massal selection planted in the commune of Aÿ." -YC, 10/24/24

"The 2019 Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Noces de Craie, 100% Pinot Noir, is especially vinous and textured in this release. Orchard fruit, spice, dried flowers, kirsch and nuts all build in the glass as the 2019 gains resonance with time in the glass. Silky contours wrap it all together in style. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: January 11, 2023." -AG, Mar/2024

"Minerally smoke and chalk notes are a savory thread lacing the walnut bread, cassis, preserved lemon and sassafras flavors as they ride the zesty bead of this refreshing Champagne, with clean-cut acidity. Disgorged January 2023. Drink now. 50 cases imported." -AN, 12/15/24
