The 2000 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne is a huge wine bursting with ripe varietal fruit, smoke, ash, crushed rocks and slate. This is an unusual Comtes that deftly balances richness and power while maintaining considerable minerality. The 2000 will be hard to resist in its youth, but should also age beautifully for a number of years. It is a stunning, flat-out great bottle... Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Light gold and vibrant. Nice steady tiny bubbles. Bread basket nose. Also notes of stones, apricot, kiwi and a creamy fruity mousse. Nice balance of fruit and energy in the mouth. This is good not great. Hit the spot with a pile of carry out sushi tonight.

Light straw gold. Impactful effervescent nose with notes of bread yeast, lemon, marzipan and apricot. Vibrant in the mouth. Expands and has a long finish. Expect this will get better and more complex with a bit more age. Really good right now tho.

Intense, long and persistent despite the incongruous presence of newish oak.

In comparison to L'Eclapart I would say the difference here is the foam, perlage, the brioche touch, more as an aperitive
