The ultra rare Tete de Cuvée of Jacques Lassaigne that is aged in barrels for cognac and old Ganevat Vin Jaune. Intense and expressive showing caramelized golden apples, crushed salted almonds and a chalky minerality. Finishes long and with excellent precision.

One of the best visits in Champagne, Montgueux’s terroir is unmistakable. Manu’s approach at Lassaigne is admirable and the wines are remarkable. This 2010 was superb, and grew from a dense and concise expression into something wider and deeper with an hour being open. I think this was raised in Ganevat Vin Jaune barrels? Wow. Worth every cent.

initial reaction: steely, closed, backwards. After Air, bready, berries, blackberries, raspberries. Fresh lemon zest over richer plum. Substantial minerality. This took awhile for me to come around to.
