Camille Saves Carte Blanche Brut Premier Cru NV (1.5L)
From Champagne
| Description: | 91 Vm / 91 Ws / 90 Bh / 17 Jr. The Brut Premier Cru Carte Blanche is a beautiful introduction to the Champagnes of Camille Saves. The aromas and flavors are totally alive in the glass, with chiseled, saline notes that provide backbone and vibrancy. This gorgeous, delicious Champagne shows why Bouzy is so highly regarded. Pears, white flowers and slate flow through to the chiseled finish. The blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay works beautifully. This is without question one of the best Champagnes on the market in its price range. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media. Pretty floral and nut aromas waft through the flavors of poached pear and ripe black currant fruit, toast point and candied lemon peel in this sleek, mouthwatering Champagne. Creamy in texture, with a salty, mineral-laced finish. 3,000 cases made. - An, Wine Spectator. There is a marked citrus component present on the expressive, cool and elegant nose that speaks mostly of white flowers, pear and green apple scents. There is good punch to the clean and crisp middle weight flavors that retain a good sense of delineation thanks to the relatively fine effervescence before terminating in moderately dry but not really austere finish. I very much like the style though this lacks just a bit of overall complexity for it to be at the next level. Note that this is very pleasant now though it could easily be held for a few years first if desired in the hopes that more depth will develop. - Allen Meadows, Burghound. A grower in Bouzy new to me who seems to be doing a great job. Fine, tight-knit, extremely fresh, brisk wine (not entirely archetypal Bouzy but good stuff). If this were a red burgundy it would be a Côte de Beaune. Very clean and refreshing. - Jancis Robinson |
