2018 Les Freres Mignon Blanc des Blancs 1er Cru L' Aventure Extra Brut
$59.00
The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs L'Aventure Premier Cru was harvested in Avize, Cramant and Cuis and spent 26 months on lees. Lemony brightness appears first on the nose of this pale wine. The palate is juicy and lithe, pervaded by frothy, youthful foam that disperses this lemony freshness. Only subtle chalk appears and just an edge of autolysis by way of polenta and yet provides resonance, balanced, sunny fruit takes center stage. Dosage is 1.6gr/L. Disgorged: October 3, 2022 - Anne Krebie
An exotically spicy and broadly floral-suffused nose is comprised mostly by ripe plum and black cherry scents. The super-sleek and highly energetic medium weight flavors brim with both dry extract and an almost aggressive minerality on the precise intense, balanced and lingering finish that, like the Bousse d'Or, would benefit from better depth. Even so, this is very classy juice with the aging potential to match. Burghound 92-94
