Reviewed October 2024Crafted from the oldest Chardonnay planted in the lieu-dit Les Belles Voyes in the commune of Oger, the 2016 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Les Belles Voyes reveals a pure, complex bouquet of white fruits, vanilla pod, spices, spring blossoms and menthol. Medium to full-bodied and with a satiny attack, it's layered and creamy, with a vinous core of fruit, enhanced by a chalky, pure and elegant finish. Vinified in barrels, which brings a lovely toasty, spicy aftertaste, it was disgorged with a dosage of 2.5 grams per liter. (YC) 95+

This limited production is only made in the best vintages, and is made from nearly 100-year-old Chardonnay vines in a tiny plot that barely makes enough to fill a single basket press. These cherished, and fleeting, old vines produced a wine in 2016 with so much depth and concentration. The nose is bursting with toasty-ness nuttiness, and candied citrus. The palate reminds me of lemon meringue pie and candied ginger - two things that bring me great joy! Without a doubt, this tiny slice of Champagne heaven is absolutely worth snagging.
