Doyard Clos de l'Abbaye Premier Cru Extra Brut, Champagne, France 2017 Bordeaux Blend 91 Pts VinousDespite the challenging vintage, the 2017 Extra Brut Premier Cru Clos de l'Abbaye has turned out very well, unwinding in the glass with scents of citrus oil, lemon pith, freshly baked bread, white flowers and wet stones. Medium to full bodied, rich and layered, with a typically vinous, structured profile, it's deep and satiny, with tangy acids and chalky structure, concluding with a long finish. 94 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
