"The 1999 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs is 100% Chardonnay from Avize with zero dosage made from two parcels, one with southern exposure, the second facing east. This is another voluminous, expansive wine that flows from the glass with a multitude of menthol, licorice and sweet spice aromas and flavors the lend complexity to the deep expression of fruit. There is extraordinary purity and finesse to this perfumed, extraterrestrial Champagne."
