Waris-Hubert, Lilyale Brut Zero Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne NV

Jancis Robinson
"Quite reticent on the nose. Sparse bubbles, but lovely minerality. A long, elegant, stony spine, but somehow not austere. Hint of moss. Delicate white peaches, but the fruit is so faintly traced on the palate that you need to pause and wait before you find it. Like a beautiful watercolour that you almost walked past. Spine-tingling precision and purity on a finish that seems to go on and on. 17/20 points. (TC)"

Vinous Reverie Notes
92 Points Forbes
"100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru Villages, Avize, Oger and Cramant. Light yellow; aromas of lemon peel, a hint of grapefruit and hints of green apple. Medium-full with a rich mid-palate, ripe fruit, good freshness and very good acidity. Excellent persistence, and quite stylish. Enjoy over the next 5-8 years. Excellent."
Tasting Notes: Pale golden color with intense glints of emerald green. Fine and lively effervescence; lasting beads of bubbles. The aromas are elegant and expressive with a floral and springlike tone. Notes of lime blossom, mint and freshly mown grass develop, which evolve to white fruit and fresh Mirabelle plum. The scent of Viennese pastries and brioche fill the senses. The palate is full and with a rich attack. Firm and powerful. Dense in the evolution phase with lively lemon flavors, complimented by minerality and hints of wild citrus fruits. It's the purity, and elegance of the Chardonnay Grand Cru of the Côte des Blancs. Elegant and expressive.
