Today, we have the same low pricing on these last bottles of Blanc de Blanc from a favorite grower, Marc Hebrart. Winemaker Jean-Paul Hebrart has decided to recreate some of the Champagnes by changing the dosage from Brut to Extra Brut, a move that has yielded fantastic results that bring out the purity of fruit and minerality. The Chardonnay for this cuvee is sourced from two Grand Cru villages, Oiry and Chouilly, and one premier Cru village, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. As a result of this slightly drier style, this is one of the best versions of this Cuvee ever to be made, shifting more of the focus to the underlying quality of materials, which many enjoy about grower Champagne. We love the new vineyard-driven character uncovered by the lower dosage, but this Cuvee retains the aspects we all have come to know and love from Marc Hebrart and is still one of the best buys at this level for Blanc de Blancs, and this is a must for fans of the Marc Hebrart. Highly recommended, these are due to arrive in late September.
