Corbon - Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut Avize 2012 (750ml)

​John Gilman 95 points
"The 2012 Champagne Corbon Blanc de Blancs is another simply gorgeous wine, and the riper and more generous personality of the 2012 vintage in Champagne is very much in evidence in this wine. The gorgeous bouquet hops from the glass in a blaze of pear, golden delicious apples, hazelnut, chalky minerality, brioche, gentle smokiness and a gardenful of nicely musky floral tones in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and very long, with a beautiful core of ripe fruit, excellent soil signature, refined mousse and a seamless, vibrant and beautifully precise finish. Qualitatively, this is every bit a match for the superb 2013, but it is already drinking with generosity and distinction!​"
