WINE ADVOCATE 93 POINTS-Crafted from the 2022 vintage and disgorged in August 2024 without dosage, Sergent’s NV Blanc de Blancs Prés de Dieu originates from two northeast-facing parcels: Les Prés in Vrigny and Les Vignes Dieu in Coulommes-la-Montagne, both defined by sandy soils. Vinified in 400- and 500-liter barrels, it wafts from the glass with a bouquet of grapefruit zest, white flowers and crisp green apple. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, tensile and luminous, with a piercing spine of acidity, a youthful and chiseled core and a long, saline finish. It is the tautest, most linear expression in Sergent’s range—a study in purity."
This laser beam, Chardonnay-based, Champagne is a brilliant balance of piercing acidity with finesse and polish. It is a straightforward wine with intensely focussed white fruits and mineral notes that are supported and rounded out by time in old oak casks. The bubbles are extremely fine for a young Champagne and the wine radiates with high energy. Our boy, Guillaume, has come out of the gates with an electric and ethereal style of Champagne. Deep inside the wine, fairy dust, forest floor, mineral and chanterelle mushrooms stay in the mouth long after the last taste.
