The same bottle I had last year. Creamy in texture with vivid freshness. Although it shows opulent ripeness and expansive aromas that show its richness, it is supported by well-structured acidity. Excellent cuvee.

7/23 disgorgement. Light yellow-gold color with a persistent column of bubbles. Light to medium intensity nose of lemon stainless steel cleaner and a little autolysis. No questioning the extra brut designation, this is quite dry and helped tremendously by the accompaniment of some grub. Never going go be a blockbuster, but I bet this has a long road ahead to cruise on. I see it being richer and rounder in a couple years. 4+10+15+8= 87

Bordeaux night: Better bottle than the last time I had this, a return to form for this perennial favourite. Rich green apple fruit but with superb tension. As usual, a popular champagne with civilians.

(NV Marc Hébrart Blanc de Blancs Brut) ($56.00) Wow is this good! Has it all – a high chalky solidity and taut greeny fruit, with a strong pair of legs beneath it; has focus and authority, saltiness and length, licorice and empire apple and spearmint, iridescent top notes and almost obdurate solidity below. It’s 78% ’07 and 22% ’06. 85% Oiry/Chouilly (GC) and 15% Mareuil (PC), disgorged 10/20/10, and dosage in the sensible middle.

DSG 10/2023. Grapes from Mareuil, Oiry and Chouilly mainly.
Tasty champagne, lemon zest and wet stone. Tracing but not boring, surprisingly supple for a recent disgorgement, it’s a nice introduction.

A bottle purchased from Envoyer in June 2016 is drinking very well.
