2020 Lena Sekt Blanc De Blancs, Extra Brut, Germany
$45.00
The Blanc de Blancs is, of course, 100% Chardonnay. Sourced from sites in Ingelheim, the grapes were direct-pressed with fractioning used to focus on the cuvée. The end of the press, or taille, is not used. The BdB saw aging mostly (about 2/3) in used tonneaux with no fining or filtering. Post tirage, the wine spent 24 months on the lees and has a dosage of 3 grams. Our bottles were disgorged in May of 2024.
Champagne is, obviously, the reference point here, both in technique, philosophy, and profile. The BdB is dense and pushing, showing a saline, chalky citrus, highlighted by shortbread aromatics and complex spices, touches of floral aromatics and a really beautiful polished core of minerality. The mousse here is richer, the wine bright and structured, chewy. Superb.
