Pith filled nose with peonies, unripe pineapple, white pepper and lemon-lime. Insta-dry on the palate, heavy lemon pith and mineral tactility. Versatile food wine undeniably fantastic with oysters. #laurentperrier #lp #blacdeblancs #brutnature #champagne #bubbles

It’s always so interesting tasting big house takes Brut Nature champagnes. A rather delightful palest of gold colors in the glass. A very creamy texture and minuscule bubbles that go on and on. A bonafide superstar nose on this with characteristic citrus aromas of white peaches, grapefruits, and lime. Chalk minerality and sea spray with a hint of soft spice. There’s a bit of kiwi and honeycomb action that really elevates things. Pure Chardonnay with no dosage from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. Beautiful austerity and exciting acidity due to the lack of dosage here. Seductively dry and vinous, this simply some of the best balance and precision that I can remember. There’s weight and heft here but it does dance gracefully, even on the second day. Bright and radiant on the tongue with lively fruit on the palate. Just a bit of brioche here with oyster shells and wet stone. Nougat, green apples, and all the citrus you could ever want. Exquisitely long finish with spice that tickles the throat. A showstopper of a Blanc de Blancs that is drinking perfectly right now.

Nice, crispness of the Chardonnay plays a dominant role. Clean and tasty rendition of a classic

Nice freshness and minerality, a high lemon note and high toned fruits. A good representative BdB in house style.
