With 30% of the profits from the sale of this wine donated to charity for Africa, the NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs Brut is from the base vintages of 2019 and 2018 and has the addition of about 10% Pinot Blanc. Pouring a pale yellow, it is classic and forward on opening, with aromas of shortbread, lemon curd, and poached pear. Full-bodied and rounded, it brings more intensity and ripeness through the mid-palate, with candied citrus and a rounded mousse. Long on the palate, it’s already in a very generous place and will drink well over the next 10-12 years.
