This Chenin Blanc

intensely saline Champagne opens in the glass

Accents of wild rosemary and sage chime in as this remains fresh and long on the iron and underbrush aftertaste

and harmony is achieved

H. Billiot Fils Cuvee Laetitia Brut, Champagne, France NV Soul of the Sensei This Chenin BlancThe NV Cuve Laetitia is positively stellar. Moreover, it captures the Billiot house style at its very best. Dried pear, ginger, flowers and spice give the Laetitia tons of allure. But what I like most about this release is a sense of energy that provides striking cut to play off the natural richness of Ambonnay. Much of that comes from the presence of Chardonnay in the blend as well. 93 Pts Antonio Galloni, Vinous
