For the second year in succession in our Top 50 Best in Show, the strength of the 2014 vintage for Chardonnay in Champagne (and notably on the Côte des Blancs) is gorgeously evident in our winning Blanc de Blancs. It wasn’t an easy summer (July was cold and wet) but great Champagne, remember, is made by a long, lingering and luminous growing season, with heat an almost optional extra. A fine spring and a glorious September teased Chardonnay to the sort of delicate perfection that you can taste in this bottle. Even the mousse is delicate, while the aromas evoke the wet-stone, seashore and seaweed notes typical of Extra Brut rather than the sweet creaminess of luxurious Brut Blanc de Blancs. The palate is incisive, darting, driving, aquiline and mouthwatering. As you sip, once again it’s wet stones, spring leaves and plant sap that come to mind: fine vineyards, clearly. No hurry to drink: this bottle would love a little more time in a cool cellar.
