Bruno Paillard, Blanc de Blancs Brut Millesime Vintage:2013 There’s a sense of autumnalThe 2013 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs, sourced from Oger and Le Mesnil sur Oger, is layered and expressive right out of the gate. The fruit intensity and flavor profile of the vintage are immediately apparent in a Champagne that blossoms beautifully on the mid palate and into the finish. Here, too, the balance is impeccable. Dried pear, spice, menthol, dried flowers and a touch of oak linger on the soft spoken finish. Dosage is 4. 5 grams per liter.
