Kit's Coty Blanc de Blancs 2019 Trío

The award-winning pedigree is deserved—this 2019 vintage poured beautifully with a fine, persistent mousse and a crisp, dry finish that made it feel far pricier than it was. The 100-acre Kent Downs source really comes through in the minerality. I've already ordered a second trio for New Year's.

The Kent Downs terroir really shines through in this vintage—there's a chalky minerality you don't often find at this price point. Bought it for a birthday dinner and the fine bubbles kept their mousse through all three glasses. It's a celebratory bottle that actually justifies the award stickers on

Opened this for a quiet Sunday afternoon and the fine bubbles carried a lovely citrus note all the way through, even after an hour in the glass. The 2019 vintage feels properly matured, the kind of sparkler that makes you slow down. Might be my new go-to for a special dinner at home.
