Description
Antonio Galloni: The 1996 Brut Blanc de Blancs is a rich, explosivewine that bursts onto the palate with a blast of ripe fruit.Generous notes of toasted oak, flowers and nuts follow, buteverything is woven together in a fabric of unsual brilliance. Theoak remains quite prominent and borderline intrusive butstylistically everything works. The wine comes together in theglass, where it also gains additional weight and fills out nicely.This is a powerful, heady and totally opulent Champagne that callsfor food. In the right context it is sure to be extraordinary. Atthe risk of offending the Champenoise, the 1996 Brut Blanc deBlancs seems to scream for a poached egg generously topped withwhite Alba truffles! Disgorged: July, 2007.
