Champagne Lanson Extra Age Brut Blanc de Blancs NV
Champagne, FranceLanson marked its 250 years making champagne by releasing a new cuvée - 'Extra Aged'. If you like mature champagne this is it. It’s 100 percent chardonnay and 100 percent Grand Cru fruit from a trio of vintages: 2003, 2004 and 2005. The bottle can rest for six, seven or eight years on lees prior to release. No malolactic fermentations turns what could be a rich, almost fat style into a fresh one, with citrus, mineral, chalk and honey aromatics followed by a creamy pear, brioche, crushed hazelnut palate, bright with impressive mineral salinity. Rich enough and close enough to a still chardonnay to take on bigger dishes at dinner including roasted birds. Drink through 2020.Tasted: 09 December 2017Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $100.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
