Thomas de Marne 'Goustan' Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature, Champagne, France (R22) Chateau Bellegrave Winemaking: 2 weeks of destemnedAlthough Thomas has taken over the estate (Val Frison) from his mother, very little has changed. Most wines, like this, are from one vintage and one varietal, seeing no dosage with richness coming from a later pick. The wine is a brisk, quenching BDN. Delicious.
