The new release of Bertrand Lilbert’s non-vintage Blanc de Blancs is from the base year of 2017, with fifty percent of the cuvée (as is his custom for this bottling) composed of reserve wines. It was disgorged in July of 2020 and finished with a dosage of three grams per liter. The wine delivers a very expressive nose of pear, delicious apple, a touch of hazelnut, chalky soil tones, brioche and a gently floral topnote. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and impeccably balanced, with a superb core, impressive mineral drive and cut, elegant mousse and a long, complex and very classy finish. First class Blanc de Blancs!
