Blanc de Blancs 2024, Raventos i Blanc Gift Card A really classyRavents i Blanc is run by Pepe Ravents, who took over his familys historic estate in Penedes after working with Hubert Lamy in Burgundy, Gaston Chiquet in Champagne and Didier Dagueneau in Pouilly Fum. Pretty handy CV! Macabeo, Xarello, Parellada and Malvasia de Sitges (local varieties) make up the blend here, with 18 months on lees. Ridiculous quality and complexity for the money.
