The new release of the Vergnon “Eloquence” Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs is a beautiful young wine, with lovely purity and precision on the palate and fine aromatic complexity. The bouquet offers up absolutely classic Mesnil notes of pear, delicious apple, chalky minerality, brioche and a gentle topnote of lemon zest. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and youthfully complex, with a fine core, frothy mousse, crisp, well-buffered acids and fine length and grip on the poised and well-balanced finish. The dosage here is very well-suited to the structure of the wine, so it delivers fine early drinkability, though clearly it will age quite gracefully. Mesnil fruit can sometimes emphasize more power than finesse, but this is a very elegant rendition of the village. (Drink between 2015-2025)
