2020 MICHEL GONET les 3 TERRIORS BLANC de BLANC EXTRA BRUT- blind; disgorged 8/24 and dosed at 4 gpl; following its light yellow color came mild aromas of almost biting acid bearing citrus fruit with lime most prominent before a trace of kiwi and lemon arrived; on the palate, these notes are joined by accents of chalk, saline, minerals and a coat of honey; over time, the lemon becomes more dominant; it had an oily texture with a bit of weight and overall possessed some thrust and lots of finesse. It lacked the power I associate with the bigger houses and I had a hard time identifying it with anything I’d had before; one called it a small grower champagne and most of us had it as a vintage BdB champagne.
Cheers,
