"The base vintage of the NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs D'Ay Grand Cru Brut is from 2019, and it spent 4 years on the lees. A robust style of Blanc de Blancs, it's assertive with notes of ripe pineapple, preserved lemon, honeycomb, and fresh walnut. Flesh and full-bodied, it has a soft, pillowy mousse, a persistent core of acidity, and a powerful drive through the finish. It will need some age to improve, as its tertiary notes should start to integrate and harmonize, rounding out its muscular personality. Drink 2025-2035. Disgorged December 2022."

"The NV Blanc de Blancs d'A is creamy, ample and textured in the way it balances Chardonnay freshness with A structure. Dried flowers, mint, spice, orchard fruit, lemon confit and light pastry notes all come together nicely, framed by notable structure and a clean, ripe finish. This is a fine showing for the NV Blanc de Blancs d'A . Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: March, 2022."
