Description
Mr Whirly says
” Some great Champagne from a small house in the south of Champagne, Bethon. Once a co-operative, ” Le Brun de Neuville” now produce small parcels of wine. This wine is the epitome of quality, being 100% Chardonnay, hence the reason it’s called ” Blanc de Blanc”. Finesse and delicacy in a glass with a light mousse and creamy finish. Treat yourself.”
Vineyard’s Tasting notes
The Champagne depicts a dress with a strong green yellow colour with pale lemon yellow hints. Of a rather fluid and shining aspect, it is lively with fine and vivid bubbles which create a delicate bottle-neck.
The first nose reveals a flavour of hawthorn and acacia, wet chalk, peppermint, green apple, fresh grapes with a touch of anise. When aerated, it turns to notes of whipped cream, chives, lemon zests and yellow grapefruit with a pinch of nutmeg.
FRESHNESS AND MINERALITY
The approach in the palate is soft and fresh with a creamy and melted effervescence. The wine develops a sensation of citrus pulp, apple and pear flesh, enhanced by zesty aromas which bring freshness to the whole. The mid-palate is orchestrated with a very pure chalky minerality. The final is dressed with a fleshy fruity combined with the chalky elegance and a subtle dosage, to deliver an ultimate sensation of creamy and iodized melt.
