This first disgorgement begins a new iteration of the Blanc de Franc. It’s made the same way as the version above, but with 24 months of lees aging. It’s waiting on labels. It’s more subtle and elegant on the nose with a vigorous bubble in the glass, fresh berries, red currants, subtle herbs, lemon/citrus, and brioche accents. It’s fresh on the palate with lively bubbles and notes of apple, red currants, subtle creamy/brioche notes, lemon oil, raspberries, lovely texture and finessed through the bright finish. Can cellar to 2030. Score – 93. (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, April 18, 2024)
