| Verdict | Jörg Geiger's Blanc de Blanc is organic Chardonnay and Colombard, bottle-fermented and aged two years on the lees before vacuum distillation: brioche, apple,… | French alcohol-removed blanc de blancs from Villa à la Mer. The process is published. The glass is a gentle bead and very little flavor. | Research record |

| Likeness | Lees-aged blanc de blancs, not fruit soda. Brioche and baked apple over a fine mousse, with a toasty finish that outlasts the fruit. The extra mid-palate weight is what makes it read as wine. | It is built as removed wine. It does not taste like blanc de blancs, or like much wine at all. | Research record |
