Beautiful Grand Cru Champagne from Lallier. 55% PN from Ay, and 45% Chardonnay from Côte des Blanc, 8g/I dosage. Shows nice balance of acidity and elegant, creamy bubbles. Medium plus toast to the nose, and lemon oil, white pepper, fresh apricot and peach compote, and créme fresh, with a citric crisp finish. This one will see some great aging, but it's pretty darn tasty now.

Stunning texture, weight, and age. The sparkle is youthful but the finish suggests the oxidized nuttiness of Fino Sherry. Superb right now, but young at heart.

Golden color, powerful, brooding, yeasty, mushroomy, toasty with some lemon and zesty acidity for balance. Great now, has the pedigree to age and continue to gain complexity for the next 10-15 years. 2005 vintage.
