Ployez-Jacquemart Etra Brut Passion Champagne 750ml

93 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Some 25% of the vins clairs that compose Ployez-Jacquemart’s NV Extra-Brut Passion were barrel fermented, and it’s a richer, more vinous non-vintage blend that’s agedfor four or five yearssur pointes rather than sur lattes to prevent excess. Offering up an inviting bouquet of lemon, orange oil, crisp yellow orchard fruit, toasted nuts and honeycomb, it’s medium to full-bodied, deep and intense, with a racy spine of acidity, fine concentration at the core, and a penetrating, sapid finish.

93 Points – Wine Spectator
A distinctive version that will likely show best with food, this offers a rich base note of smoky roasted almond and a honeyed palate of pastry dough, dried currant, apricot, lemon curd, fleur de sel and chalk. Fine and creamy in texture, with a fine, chinalike backbone of acidity. Drink now through 2019.
