"The 2008 Ployez-Jacquemart Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is a lovely wine that spent at least four years aging sur latte prior to disgorgement, but there is no information on when this particular bottle was disgorged. The Ployez family barrel-ferments the vin clairs for this bottling (in the same manner as their Tête de Cuvée, the Liesse d’Harbonville) and the ’08 is just starting to stretch its wings and drink beautifully. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a refined blend of pear, delicious apple, a touch of almond, chalky soil tones, brioche and a gentle topnote of spring flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and nicely structured, with very elegant mousse, a fine core and excellent length and grip on the focused and classy finish. I do not know what the dosage is here, but I would guess around two grams per liter. Fine juice that will only improve with further bottle age. 2016-2035+."
