Champagne Bouquin-Dupont Fils Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2002




The Mr. Dominique’wines, you read many times on these pages, even in the vintage version, have their why and demonstrate the goodness of the work of this small rm maison, whose annual production is approximately 15,000 bottles.

Whenever I go to Avize, at Dominique’s house, he always speaks to me, about the "expression of the terroir", which must have its champagnes.
His obsession, which has become the hallmark of its bubbles.
This bowl, has evolved well, even if the maturity is obvious to the eye, the nose and the palate. It is evolving, but not maturity. 

Chalky minerality, inlays of candied citrus, mushroom and moss sensations, are the main features characterizing the olfactory and the tasting aspect.
I expected a less rustic bubble, less rough, but the terroir is there.
Intense and sharp sips, still appreciable freshness, long finish with iodine aromas.
