Ployez-JacquemartExtraBrutVintage

94/100 – Disgorged in March 2018, the 2008 Extra-Brut Vintage from Ployez-Jacquemart is showing brilliantly, unwinding in the glass with aromas of citrus zest, confit lemon, pear, brioche and mandarin. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with an incisive spine of acidity and a pearly mousse, the quality of the vintage here puts this on the same level as the house’s two tête de cuvée bottlings in their portfolio of current releases. The blend is 50% Chardonnay, with the balance equal parts Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. – William Kelley, Wine Advocate
