Product Details
Maturing but still very lively and impeccably balanced, the CSV 2017 Blanc de Blancs was aged for 5+ years sur lie, made from a selection of the premium parcels of mature vines on the Cave Spring property. It pours a pale gold colour, and shows a mix of youth and evolution, fresh lemon and wildflower honey, meadow flowers and fresh wheat, well within the classic spectrum. The palate is notably dry and crisp with minimal dosage apparent (presumably brut nature, though labeled as Natural Brut), with ripe acids framing the broad palate without austerity or excess. Length and depth are excellent. Top notch, ready to enjoy, and a sharp value at $50 especially relative the even basic entry level champagne at higher cost. Tasted November 2024.
