From a single plot of western exposition and fermented and aged in barrels, the bright yellow 2019 Champagne Premiere Cru Blanc De Blancs Les Grandes Crayères Extra Brut is fresh and lifted with mineral character, offering notes of chalky freshness, bright lemon balm, delicate toasted incense, and fresh apple. Medium-bodied and focused, this age-worthy wine is all about its mineral texture and fine, focused mousse. There’s fantastic definition to the wine and a long persistence through the finish, with a hint of warmth. Angular and bright, it commands another couple of years in the cellar. The wood never feels heavy or even very noticeable at this point and will likely help to round this out if stored properly and given time.
