91 Wine Advocate – A blend of Chardonnay complemented by some 30% Pinot Blanc, the 2016 Extra-Brut Présence delivers aromas of quince, crisp orchard fruit and coniferous forest, followed by a medium to full-bodied, taut and racy palate. It’s vinified without any added sulfites, and I’d be inclined to approach it in its youth.
Dominique Moreau’s first Blanc de Blanc blend combines Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc grown in the unique kimmeridgian and portlandian soils of the Aube. This zero dosage, no sulfur added cuvee is rich and racy and has a commanding “presence”, if you will, just as we have come to expect from this rising star.
