Jacques Lassaigne 'Les Vignes de Montgueux' Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Champagne, France
$73.99
Age of Vines: 35 Years
Yields: 60 hl/ha
Pruning Method: Guyot
Soil: Heavy clay and chalk
Varieties: Chardonnay
The grapes are harvested by hand—from 9 different sites—at their maximum ripeness before being destemmed & gently pressed. The fruit undergoes complete malolactic fermentation & no sulfites are added to the blend. The wine is aged in new & old barrels for 12 to 24 months and held in bottle for 1 to 5 years until it is disgorged, corked & released.
Tasting Note: Pale straw in the glass with lovely mineral, dried fruit and citrus zest aromatics that reflect the purest expression of the Montgueux terroir. The palate is vibrantly alive with crisp citrus and melon flavors that are backed by deft acidity & dazzling minerality. The finish resonates with succulent citrus notes.
Pairing: A wonderful match to oysters, seafood and shellfish. And of course, by itself.
