  Pinot Noir from a vineyard called Largillier, from a clay-limestone soil, on the Côte des Bar in the municipality of Ville-sur-Arce. It comes from two plots, Fruit and Fleur, which are vinified separately and from a single vintage, 2017. Aging of about 36 months in a bottle with its lees. Dosage: 6 g/L. Floral, ripe white fruit, brioche, mineral, refreshing, subtle, creamy, wide, elegant and persistent. 10000 bottles. Nice!

  2017 vintage with a 2020 disgorgement. light gold color with a shy mousse and very fine persistent bead. crisp apple, pound cake, and limestone on the nose. medium bodied with just a bit of glycerine character. integrated acidity with some citric zest. rich, ripe green apple with the usual cherry and chocolate flavors found in good black grape wines. dosage brings a nice rounded finish. this is an incredibly well textured wine. that is the real achievement here. big but not cloying or tiresome. i can understand why this is sought out.

  2016 base year; no date of disgorgement so far as I could tell. And no specific dosage level noted aside from 'brut.'
  I bought this bottle because I heard it captures some of the vinous character of Cedric Bouchard. After just one bottle I'm not sure I totally agree, but regardless this is a BdN from the Aube that is worth your attention.
  
  Pours a pale gold. Initially gives creamy or lactic aromas, but underlying is a significant mineral character. There is some stone fruit, but minerality is the focus here. On the palate this is full, rich, and broad -- not necessarily a wine of finesse, but not one that's out of balance either.
  
  As the wine warmed and got further exposure to air it became increasingly mineral-driven, harnessing much of the Chablis character one might hope for from an area known for Kimmeridigian terroir.
  
  I typically prefer a wine with lower dosage but I must say that this was well balanced and complete, if not necessarily a wine of finesse. A far cry from some of the more austere examples of the grape found elsewhere in Champagne.
