Product Overview
This is a lunch time Champagne! Bright, fresh and mineral as the day is long. A zesty reprieve from the doldrums of work.This mid-weight blanc de blancs comes from the Grand Cru vineyards of Avize and is entirely made from Chardonnay. Funny that I brought up Chardonnay…the Leflaive behind the project is none other than Olivier Leflaive of Burgundian fame…known for….drum roll….his work with Chardonnay!Post primary fermentations in stainless steel, this wine is blended with 17% reserve Chardonnay. Let’s decode the label now, shall we? 17/40 = 2017 base wine vintage = 4g/L dosage. Taadaa! Don’t you feel smarter now?This frisky and fun wine has YEARS of pleasure ahead of it, so don’t rush to open it.
