How to distinguish Blanc de Blanc and Brut Nature?

I've been doing a lot of blind-tasting practice lately, and I seem to struggle with Champagne (or Cremant) in terms of confusing Blanc de Blancs with Brut Nature – both styles tend to have high acidity, a lean structure, and a mineral-driven profile.
In a blind tasting, how do you reliably tell the difference between the two? Are there specific flavor markers that you look for?
