Jean Laurent Blanc de Noir Brut NV

Mouthwatering, this rich version layers flavors of black cherry, crystallized honey, toasted almond and grilled plum, with refined texture and racy acidity. Offers a long, creamy finish. Disgorged June 2012. Drink now through 2022.

Wine Advocate ReviewThe non-vintage Brut Blanc de Noirs (100% Pinot Noir) is a light to medium-bodied Champagne that spent four years on its lees. Very perfumed, offering tiny pinpoint, persistent bubbles, loads of fruit on the attack, and good mineral/chalky flavors with impressive penetration as well as persistence, it is a beautiful, fresh yet authoritatively flavored Champagne to drink over the next 7-8 years.Wine Tasting NotesGreat concentration and purity of fruit, with spicy cherry, apricot and nectarine aromas on the nose. Fine bubble texture and racy acidity on the palate, ending with a long, clean finish.

Though it bears the ever-confusing label "Brut" (meaning dry), this wine is in reality quite fruit-driven and approachable on the palate, with round, yellow plum fruit flavors. Tangy, fresh and just easy to drink.

Completely off the chart. Totally unique and bursting with a cornucopia of fresh summer fruits, flowers and mineral aromas and flavors. A balanced, rich and dynamic wine. A fascinating taste experience. Drink now through 2003. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.

Laurent’s NV Brut Blanc de Noirs wraps around the palate with rich, resonant fruit, honey, almonds, dried flowers and spices. Hints of ash, smoke and licorice develop in the glass, adding further complexity. Based on the wine’s complexity, I would not be surprised if there is a fair amount of reserve wine in this release. Disgorgement date: June 2012. Anticipated maturity: 2012–2016.

A full-bodied, opulent style, this Champagne is also concentrated and smooth. Vanilla and sweet spices add depth to its peach and buttered pastry flavors, as this glides to a lingering finish. For hedonists. Drink now.
