Stephan Reinhardt: The NV Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Roy Soleil is 100% Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger's clay-limestone soils. Aged six months in 70% stainless steel and 30% in barrel, the straw-yellow colored wine (the lot L040716 is based on 2011 plus 30% reserve wines from 2000 to 2010) has a dense and complex nose with perfectly ripe fruit, brioche and chalky aromas. It is a rich, fleshy, mouth-filling, well-structured and intensely aromatic yet highly elegant blanc de blancs with good freshness and mineral purity on the long, complex, aromatic finish. Bottled in 2012, the disgorgement date is unknown but this grand cru should be aged at least three years on the second lees. Dosed as a brut with roughly six grams per liter of residual sugar. This is a gorgeous blanc de blancs. Tasted November 2017.
