Doyard - Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut 2009 (750ml)

WA: 96 – “The intensely citrus colored 2009 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut offers a deep, ripe, fresh, precise and concentrated bouquet with citrus fruit aromas intermixed with chalky-mineral notes. Pure, crisp and racy yet very elegant on the palate, this is an exciting cuvée from four different terroirs. It is very pristine and tensioned, very salty and pure, with pineapple flavors and a lot of vitality and freshness.”

"An expressive nose is highly redolent of petrol along with background nuances of yeast, lemon peel, acacia blossom and baked apple. There is first-rate complexity present on the utterly delicious medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by a wonderfully fine if relatively soft mousse, all wrapped in a dry, but somewhat curiously, given the zero reported dosage, not bone dry finish. This is a lovely 2009 that could be enjoyed now or aged to good effect. In a word, excellent." 93 points
