Critic Review
"Stored for 11 years on the lees, this 2011 ‘Blanc de Blancs’ has great autolytic character right now. Nutmeg drenched macadamia nut, salted sourdough bread and hints of candied ginger all combine on the palate. A glorious wine to enjoy now, watch this elegant and refined 2011 Champagne evolve over the next six to eight years."

Champagne vineyards are planted on limestone-rich soils, which enhance the wines’ signature minerality and freshness.
Cool climate ensures a long growing season, preserving the high acidity essential for fine sparkling wines.
Hand-harvesting is required to maintain grape quality for traditional production.
"Late disgorged" refers to a technique where we allow the wine to age for an extended period of time on the yeast, allowing the wine to retain freshness while continuing to take on the complexity of the yeast. Blanc de Blancs is revered for its ability to age for decades as the finesse of the wines are enhanced with long-term aging.
Our Late Disgorged Michel Foch Blanc de Blancs sees 13 years on the yeast, which has allowed it to develop alluring aromas of brioche, toasted almonds as well as a hint of toffee while retaining energy and hints of lime and green apple. The palate is flavorful and long with an elegant minerality and balance as the delicacy of the Chardonnay variety is juxtaposed against the richness derived through extended aging.
