May 5, 2024 - Opened by mistake. This 2013 was in the cellar slot with my 2011's. It was my first experience with this vintage of the Levant VV, and it is impressive. Fresh, crisp, clean and complex. Honeyed and carameled apple, citrus, spice. This is fantastic now, although the future holds even greater promise.

April 20, 2024 - Inviting medium gold in the glass. Pronounced nose of lemon, apricot, brioche, ginger, honey, and chalk. Medium+ acidity, fine creamy mousse, and medium+ mineral finish. Simply a benchmark Blanc de Blancs, with the fruit, yeastiness, and structure in perfect balance. Looking forward to it developing further complexity in a few years!

April 6, 2024 - Lighter color. The nose shows aromas of toasted brioche, orchard fruits, minerals, flowers and a hint of sea spray. This is medium bodied on the palate with outstanding concentration and excellent class. The fairly long finish features laser like acidity and a saline mineral note.

February 28, 2024 - Colore oro pallido; bolla estremamente fine e persistente. Naso intenso e di grande complessità, che si esprime attraverso sentori di agrumi, mele gialle, fiori bianchi e una parte complessa di crosta di pane tostato e biscotto. In bocca è cremoso e avvolgente e, al contempo, profondamente teso e tagliente; sotto il profilo gustativo si sviluppa prevalentemente su tonalità fresche, gessose e minerali, che richiamano continuamente la beva. Grande persistenza sul finale.
