Expert Reviews
Deeper and more autumnal, the 2017 Champagne Premier Cru Coeur De Cuvée Brut comes from 60-year-old vines. It has a shimmering medium golden yellow color and is expressive and ripe on the nose with notes of honey, powder, ripe croissant, baked apples, and honey. Full-bodied, it begins with bitter citrus, mouthwatering saltiness, and persistent savory length. It shows more mature notes and has a fine, zesty mousse. The oak influence appears subtly with notes of toast and savory brine.
The 2017 Brut Coeur de Cuvée is fabulous. Although disgorged in February of 2023, two years ago, the 2017 remains very tight. Citrus peel, chalk, mint, slate and white pepper all race across the palate. This is a rare vintage in which Laurent Champs was among the first to pick in Rilly La Montagne, which turned out to be very well chosen. The 2017 offers terrific focus, cut and delineation. Coeur de Cuvée emerges from 60+ year-old vines in Blanches Voies. Give it a few years in bottle. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged: February 2024.
