Wine Advocate
Reviewed October 2015The NV Cremant du Jura BBF Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs smells like a serious Champagne. It is a blend of 2008 and 2009; the 2008 matured for 14 months in barrique and the 2009 only in tank. This is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The wine was kept for some five years on the lees before disgorgement. It has a smoky character, lots of notes of baked bread and brioche, as well as creamy texture and great length. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to follow up on these non-vintage wines, but this bottle can surely age. (LG)

Vinous
Bright yellow. Herbal pear and peach scents are complicated by vanilla and chamomile. Pure and dense in the mouth, offering toasty citrus and orchard fruit flavors brightened by juicy acidity and a lively mineral vein. BBF stands for Blanc de Blanc en Fût, which means a barrel-aged Chardonnay, in this case from the 2009 and 2008 vintages. From a mix of clay and limestone soils, it lingers with surprising tenacity.

Wine Spectator
Plump at the core, with bracing cut along the edges, this delivers apple, ginger, walnut and brioche notes, with a broad mousse on the finish. Shows good range and length. (JM)
