Disgorged in May 2020, the new release of Hébrart’s NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru wafts from the glass with inviting aromas of Anjou pear, white peach, linden and brioche. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and enveloping, it’s bright and precise, with racy acids, a pinpoint mousse and a long, chalky finish. It’s a touch drier than previous renditions (which were typically dosed as brut), and that really foregrounds the pristine quality of the fruit.
