Oscar Garcia Moncada | 67 Wine: The Leflaive family name boasts a long and distinguished winemaking tradition in Burgundy, making it perfectly fitting for them to extend this tradition north to Champagne. In February, I had the pleasure of tasting through the Valentin Leflaive Champagne lineup and was thoroughly impressed by each cuve.
Winemaker Description
An elegant, fresh Blanc de Blancs from Valentin Leflaive that offers notes of yellow apples, candied lemons, freshly-baked bread and a clean salinity that lingers in the finish.
Expert Reviews – CV/19/30
James Suckling 93 Points | I like the biscuit and brioche aromas here. Some fig, walnut and apple crumble, too. Its rich an creamy with delicious, toasty undertones. Rounded yet very fresh finish.
The Wine Enthusiast 93 Points | It shines with crisp white fruit and citrus flavor, textured with minerality. Bottle age has let a touch of toastiness creep in, making it very ready to drink.
Vinous 92 Points | The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs CV1930 is a pure Chardonnay, with over half of the grapes picked in Vertus, 21% in Cramant and 27% in Bergres-les-Vertus. Based on the 2019 vintage with 56% reserve wines, it was fermented in stainless steel and matured on lees for 39 months. The nose is gently savory, suggesting salty corn husk, while the palate offers a silky mousse that pulses through the slender, sinuous body. This elegant wine leaves no doubt about its Cte des Blancs originsa quintessential Blanc de Blancs of real elegance. “
