Claude Cazals, Cuvee Vive Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne NV

92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"Disgorged in March 2019 with three grams per liter dosage, the NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cuvée Vive unfurls in the glass with scents of wet stones, iodine, lemon oil, crisp green apple and brioche. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a ripe core of fruit, racy acids and a penetratingly chalky finish. This finely balanced bottling is showing very well."

Vinous Reverie Notes
Extra-Brut produced without the addition of liquor, this golden button Cuvée exudes clarity and shine. Its extremely delicate nose reveals slightly toasted aromas with touches of honey and candied apricot, to reveal extraordinary purity and liveliness on the palate. It is a “Plaisir” Cuvée which does not usurp its name, where the expression of the wine is without artifice.
