Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The BdB d’Aÿ GC pours a straw color with medium viscosity and a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with ripe orchard fruits and autolytic notes: apple, peach, lemon curd, lightly toasted brioche, nuts and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, creamy and toasty. Rich and decadent. Drink now. Disgorged March 2022.

Retains the Chardonnay character. Great balanced acidity & structure.

Ripe, rich, chewy, beautifully full bodied and dense. Sweet autolytic notes. There’s nerve and acid there to balance the intensity. 1/2019 disgorgement

From magnum. A fabulous Grand Cru NV and pretty much everything I want in a BdB Champagne. Bright citrus fruit and white peach with lovely minerals and some absolutely banging acid! Gorgeous texture. Impeccable balance, everything is in the right place. It could be the large format (Champagne always seems to be more delicious from big bottles) but I want more of this in my life.
