The 2012 Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Blanches Voies is elegant, weightless and crystalline in its purity. Lemon peel, white flowers, crushed rocks and marzipan abound. Another six months has done the 2012 wonders. A wine of transparency and crystalline purity. Even with more than two years of disgorgement, the 2012 is very tightly wound. It's all understatement and class here. (Drink between 2024-2032)
The 2012 Champagne Blanc de Blancs Les Blanche Voies Extra Brut spent 10 months in barrique before resting on its lees for 84 months. It offers sophisticated decadence, in that it has restraint and needs time to unfold. Key lime pie, pure green apples, wet stone, and croissant lift from the glass. The mousse is equally compelling and graceful while being dry. It offers ripe pear and salinity that fleshes out for a long finish. Drink 2024-2044. (Drink between 2024-2044)
