On the nose, strawberries, cherries, black cherries, blood oranges, soft, unstated chalkiness, volcanic minerals and fresh red & pink roses. On the palate, its delicate, fruit driven. More fruit concentration that the Billecart-Salmon but less than the Ruinart Rosés. Strawberries, cherries, black cherries, blood oranges, tangerines, nice chalkiness, round acidity, brioche & pink roses. It's much more floral than the Billecart or the Ruinart. However, the finish is not quite as long as the other two as well. But, it's still very nice. A little history on the house. Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 and is the main company of the Laurent-Perrier Group, whose other properties include; Salon, De Castellane and Delamotte & Chateau Malakoff. Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 when a former cooper and bottler, Alphonse Pierlot purchased two parcels of land named "Plaisances" and "La Tour Glorieux" in Tours-sur-Marne. When Pierlot passed he willed the company to his cellar master, Eugene Laurent, who ran it with his wife, Mathilde Emilie Perrier. In 1925 Veuve Mathilde died, and left the company to Eugenie Hortense Laurent. Eugenie sold the company to Mary-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt in 1939. In 1949 Bernard de Nonancourt became the owner of the company and saw it become one of the largest family-owned Champagne houses. The de Nonancourt family still retains majority ownership today. Check out those old moldy bottles in the small photo on the left. They've remained untouched for a very long time. — 7 years ago

2008 pet nat library release? 100% clairette? WTF? Such a fun wine, still very fresh but with a savory side to balance. @Hardy Wallace @Michael Cruse @Vinny Eng you need to find this! — 9 years ago

Spice box, decaying leaves and a hint of smoke mingle with red cherry, red raspberry and cranberry fruit on the complex nose. The palate showcases the candied yet fresh nature of the fruit in excellent wines from 2002. The acidity is vibrant and the tannins round soft and textured. Just dynamite. — 7 years ago

There is a great charm in this Marsannay (see also my previous note on the 2006). Plus a boost of aromatic intensity, due to a great Burgundy vintage. Really showing well at the moment. — 8 years ago

一開封的時候一股有點陳舊的味道靜靜的散開，第一口所嚐到的是強烈的單寧和酸味，在醒了近30分鐘候，香氣開始漸漸濃烈起來，果香味取代了單寧的酸澀，咽下後口齒留香，屬於一款口味較濃重的Pinot Noir.... — 10 years ago
