Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

Aged for at least five years in the Lanson cellars before disgorgement, a blend of Grand Cru wines from the Côte des Blancs, classic Blanc de Blancs, 100% Chardonnay, pale lemon, fine bubble flow and light mousse, aromas of fresh stone fruits, warm biscuits and hints of floral notes. On the palate fresh fruit flavors of white peaches and crisp apple with hints of citrus zest. Long finish ending with rich refreshing yeasty mineral character. Nice! — 7 days ago

Very unique - lots of bubbles, perhaps a bit larger than perfect, but savory notes, grapefruit peel, savory and almost dry vermouth notes. Just different from almost all other champagne. — 8 days ago

Taken to Selby's in Redwood City. Young and fresh with great energy. Notes of citrus, wet stone and some red fruit. Great silky mousse texture. In a perfect spot although still in a youthful stage. — 7 days ago

Disgorged in 2021, this new and ultra rare bottling from Prévost has debuted with the LC19 release comprised from grapes purchased “from sources that emphasize cultivated soils, low yields and full ripeness.” The base wine is a blend of equal parts Chardonnay from Le Mesnil and Pinot Noir from Puisieulx, at the northern end of the Montagne de Reims. Then, there is 20% reserve wine from 2018. While of course very young, it shows incredible depth and complexity today, and quite Burgundian and to no surprise, vinous in its expression. It flaunts a deep caramelized stone fruited profile with salted hazelnuts, curry leaf, gun smoke and lavender. The full bodied and satiny textured palate is just riveting with energy and it gives way to a mineral and saline driven finish that goes on and on. Wowza. — 2 days ago

2017 base, disgorged 2021, 1 g/l dosage. Wow. Classy and delicious, very vibrant. Mousse a bit aggressive, would hold a couple years but damn good now. — 18 days ago

Best champagne I’ve had ever. Light to medium body. Clean finish with mild pleasant aftertaste. — 4 days ago
