Lanson
Gold Label Vintage Brut Champagne
Champagne, France
The 2005 Millésime Gold Label is a very pretty wine. Silky, perfumed and gracious on the palate, the 2005 is impeccably balanced. Soft curves make the 2005 easy to drink now. Moreover, the 2005 doesn’t have any of the odd mushroomy flavors or advanced notes that are typical of so many 2005s. This is a very pretty, supple style for a wine made with no malolactic fermentation. The 2005 remains fresh and light on its feet, with an exotic floral top note that lingers on the finish.

Could go for another decade. Candied fruits, raisins and brioche.

2005 vintage in magnum. Delicate green apple nose. More baked apple in the mouth. Acidity is over-bearing for me. Citric finish. Bit simple.
