Laurent-Perrier Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature Champagne

Description

Robert Parker, Jr’s Wine Advocate: “A new cuvée from Laurent-Perrier, the inaugural NV Blanc de Blancs Nature represents the first time this house, for all its emphasis on Chardonnay, has ever released a blanc de blancs. Offering up aromas of citrus fruit, green apple, oyster shell and warm bread, the wine is medium to full-bodied, lively and precise, with a bright spine of ripe acidity and a delicately chalky finish. It’s a blend of the 2012 and 2013 vintages with reserve wine from 2009, and chef de cave Michel Fauconnet told me that he had sought precision from the Chardonnay of the Montagne de Reims and texture from that of the Côte de Blancs.” Apr 2019Winery: “Laurent-Perrier has always selected Chardonnay as the dominant grape variety in all its white cuvées and has been a pioneer of the Brut Nature category since 1981. The wine has a white gold color with a fine sparkle. The nose displays minerality and hints of citrus. On the palate, the wine is balanced and sustained with a finish that is fresh with notes of lemon.The Blanc de Blancs is a true wine for gastronomy pairing well with the finest fish: sea bass with salt crust, scallops, grilled marinated squid with lemon, thyme, olive oil as well white meats such as veal tartare with ginger and lemon.”Bottle750ml, corkVarietal100% ChardonnayAlcohol12%RegionChampagne, France
