Pierre Deville Blanc de Noirs Copain Extra Brut Champagne 2019

Alban Corbeaux's great grandfather's name graces the label, and this is from two single vineyards in the Grand Cru village of Verzy (limestone on chalk). It was raised entirely in oak barrels, and there was a tiny outlay of 1300 bottles for the world. **Notes are from tastings at the Champagne fair, April 2023. The nose shows a hit of cream, baked apples, some citrus, and a light oak (bois) note. The palate has full flavor set with flavors of cream, some spice, baked apple, and flaky pastry crust.
