Mat McGraw recommends this wine.
Récolte Noire is a Blanc de Noirs made entirely from Pinot Noir with a minimum of two years aging in the bottle and with a dosage around 5g/L. While most growers would put a Blanc de Noirs at the end of a tasting of their Champagnes Davy puts it near the start as Pinot on Kimmeridgian soils is delicate, filigreed and mineral. The Récolte Noire certainly has all those characteristics along with a toastiness and elegance of fruit that resembles fresh raspberry or strawberry.
This is a pure, oak-fermented Pinot Noir from the Côte des Bar. White-golden in color, this is a fine, fresh and delicately fruity Champagne with just a hint of oak. Intense, fresh and lush on the palate, this is a straight, perfectly round and well-structured Blanc de Noirs with good grip and vitality on the finish. Excellent! Drink 2018-2026. —S.R.
