2020 Legrand Latour Lutetien Extra Brut, Champagne, France
$155.00
Lutetian is represented by a deposit of calcareous sand, rich in fossilized shells, which bear witness to a tropical sea. 45 million years ago, this sea from the Paris Basin extended as far as Champagne. From vineyards in the village of Vandières, this 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir has both power and precision with a talcum texture reminiscent of the finest limestone-rich terroirs.
12 months in barrels on the fine lees; 40 months sur lattes; zero dosage
