2006 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs

Vininformation

94 point, Robert Parker - Wine Advocate: "It offers a delicious and matured bouquet of ripe fruits, cream, caramel and brioche flavors. It is pure, fresh and mineral on the palate, highly elegant and finessed but also intense, very well structured and provided with a perfect roundness in the long, clear and cleansing but also complex finish. It’s simply a gorgeous Champagne that I’d love to have with a never-ending Sunday morning brunch. Four percent of the wine were fermented in oak, the rest in stainless steel. The grapes were sourced in six grand cru villages such as Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize, Cramant, Chouilly and Oiry." 

93 point, Wine Spectator: "A minerally version, fresh and focused, with a subtle, smoky underpinning and rich flavors of toasted brioche and coconut, poached pear, candied kumquat and chopped almond riding the fine, lacy bead. Drink now and through 2026."

92 point i Vinforum.dk: "Lys gul grøn farve med mange fine bobler. Intens duft af æble, citrus, brød. Mellemfyldig vin med fin mousse og en smag, der er ret intens i det med god rygrad og syre. Ret kraftig af en Blanc de Blancs men ikke uden elegance. Kan givet lagre med fordel. Flot og intens. Vinen er god til fisk og skaldyr."

91 point, Burghound.com; "A cool and relatively restrained nose features notes of green apple and plenty of citrus and floral characters that are trimmed in subtle yeast nuances. There is good punch to the relatively fine flavors that are underpinned by a fine but notably firm mousse on the lingering, clean and dry but not really austere finale. There is good but not exceptional complexity through more will almost develope in the next few years. On the plus side this is fresher and more vibrant than many '06s and while it could be enjoyed now I would advise holding it for another 2 to 5 years first."

Denne vin er i den klassiske, præcise og elegante Duval-Leroy stil. Duften er dyb og kompleks med aromaer af hvide blomster, mandarin og ristede mandler. Smagen er stor, silkeagtig og cremet med en udsøgt mineralitet, længde og balance i den lange finish. En virkelig stor Champagne til de fineste retter med rødtunge, pighvar eller hummer.
