Henriet-Bazin Villers-Marmery Blanc de Blanc 1er Cru Champagne (750ML)

90 Points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous: "Light yellow. Fresh citrus fruits, minerals and green almond on the floral-accented nose and in the mouth. Silky and broad, with strong spicy lift and cut on the mineral-suffused finish. Shows an excellent blend of richness and vivacity, making it very flexible at the table." 11/12

90+ Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar: "The current release of the D. Henriet-Bazin non-vintage Blanc de Blancs is a very good wine that is very young still today, and I would be inclined to try and tuck it away in the cellar for a year or two and let it blossom a bit more from behind its racy structural elements. The bouquet is first rate, wafting from the glass in a mix of apple, tart pear, stony minerality, fresh-baked bread and a nice dollop of hazelnut in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, crisp and youthfully complex, with a fien core, snappy acids, refined mousse and very good length and grip on the still very primary finish. Today, the wine is still a touch angular from its relative youth, but this will go away with a bit more bottle age and this should be a lovely drink down the road. (Drink between 2015-2025)" 09/14, Issue +53
