Have you ever wondered why most Champagne producers charge so much more for their Blanc de Blancs? The answer is that the crowd-pleasing Chardonnay fruit is just so widely loved that makers of Champagne simply know that they can put their prices up 30% for their Blanc de Blancs and people will still buy it in big quantities. All Champagne producers except for Fred Louvet, that is! Perhaps because he is the most grounded, level-headed, and least showy or pretentious winemaker in Champagne that I have ever met (there are some real ya-hoos in Champagne I can assure you!), he charges almost exactly the same for his Blanc de Blancs as for his entry level Brut NV, which really is how it should always be, with every producer. And according to the feedback I received following the last shipment of this wine that we brought in last year, this is also the best value-for-money Champagne that some people have ever tasted. Yes, it is quintessential 100% Chardonnay-based Blanc de Blancs Champagne with lemon tart, meringue, and cheesecake biscuit notes, but it is also steely and mineral, evocative of crushed rock, ozone, and smoke, while the palate is youthful, dry, and zings around the palate with an almost electrical frisson. Sanely priced Blanc de Blancs Champagne – at last!
