Milan Brut Blanc de Blanc,
A Blanc de Blanc at this price and rated 92 Points
The new cuvee is 1998 and 1997 with less dosage that any previous Carte Blanche
at 10 grams per liter of residual sugar. Subsequent disgorgements increased the
dosage. Fine springy nose; utterly wonderful fruit, clarity, minerality:
lavender honey notes.
This posh style of Champagne invites you in, with bright fruit flavors and
buttery, creamy accents that build on the palate and linger on the finish. The
broad but light texture is hard to resist.

Jean Milan Brut Champagne, Terre de Noel 95
Every single time I have drunk this I've felt it was about as
good as white grape Champagne ever gets. It's from 45 year-old vines in a single
parcel in Oger. Immediately after disgorgement (by hand, without freezing) it
had a ripe jasmine-blossom nose with discreet mineral. Superb intensity, riper
than the 1922, more quince confiture, more quinine and honey; it reminded me of
1995 Alsace Rieslings then, and a few months later when I tasted it with Pierre
Rovani. These days it has simply grandiose resonance and class and is starting
to get that Puligny jazz. It will live an energetic life for a least twenty
years. Stupendously good white fizz!
