The 2019 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Les 3 Terroirs, picked in Le Mesnil sur Oger, Montgueux and Vindey, avoided malolactic conversion. Slight smokiness on the nose denotes the reductive style of this strait-laced wine, which comes in with uncompromising, deliciously hair-raising brightness. This beautifully svelte yet concentrated Blanc de Blancs offers all the raciness and drive you could wish for. It's beautifully streamlined with charming creaminess and exquisitely fine mousse. A gorgeous wine for true Chardonnay lovers. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: December 2023. - Anne Krebiehl MW
