The 1999 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs is 100% Chardonnay from Avize with zero dosage made from two parcels, one with southern exposure, the second facing east. This is another voluminous, expansive wine that flows from the glass with a multitude of menthol, licorice and sweet spice aromas and flavors the lend complexity to the deep expression of fruit. There is extraordinary purity and finesse to this perfumed, extraterrestrial Champagne. This bottle was disgorged in January 2008. - 96pts, Antonio Galloni
