The 2018 Brut Blanc des Blancs Le Nombre d’Or Sablé is a blend of 40% Chardonnay, 25% Arbanne, 25% Petit Meslier and 10% Pinot Blanc—note the ‘des’ rather than ‘de’ in the wine’s name. Lemon peel, white pepper, chalk, mint and crushed rocks give the 2018 its taut personality. A Champagne of crystalline purity and tension, this sizzles from start to finish. Readers who enjoy brisk, finely cut Champagnes will delight in the 2018. Dosage is zero. Disgorged: May 2023. – Antonio Galloni Nov ’23

These are some of the most classy, polished Champagnes readers will come across. I rarely miss a chance to drink them.
