Description
93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “The current release of Aurélien Suenen’s “C & C” non-vintage Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is also from the base year of 2017, and like the Oiry, always includes a percentage of the two previous years as well as reserve wines. The wine was disgorged in June of 2020 and finished this year with a dosage of four grams per liter. The nose delivers a beautiful aromatic constellation of pear, tangerine, chalky minerality, warm bread, a touch of oak and a topnote of citrus zest. On the palate the wine is deep, complex and full, with a lovely core of fruit, superb soil signature, pinpoint bubbles and a long, focused and perfectly balanced finish. This seems a bit more buttoned up behind its lovely structure than the Oiry (at least right out of the blocks), and I would give this wine a bit of time in the cellar before expecting it to be wide open and drinking with generosity. And, it is too good of a young wine to be wasting bottles by drinking them before their time! 2023-2050+. (Sep/Oct 2025)”
