Fresne Ducret Arquemie No. 7 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru Champagne

Seventh iteration of this small lot luxury Champagne and one to sink both your nose and teeth into its blanc de blancs textures. This is indeed bubbles conceived and consummated for mouthfeel and the way its presence settles so prominently upon your palate. Truly alchemic with essential oils, bitters and tinctures of a mixologists’s pallet to impress upon all that we can assimilate in our assessment and enjoyment of such a sturdy, complex, converse and polemic Champagne. Beautifully oxidative, furthest from the region’s pedagogy and simply a concern of the real to potentially profound. Drink 2024-2029. Tasted July 2024. Score – 94. (Michael Godel, winealign.com)
