181 Champagne Grand Cru AC NV Brut Essentiel
Benoit LahayeGrape:90% Pinot Noir, 10% Chardonnay (12% alc.)
This comes from grand cru rated 30 year old vines in Bouzy and Ambonnay. Made from the 2005 and 2006 vintages it was initially aged 50% in cuve and 50% in two to five year-old barrels. It was then given two and a half years on the lees before it was disgorged in August 2009 and has a 7g/l dosage. Very expressive on the nose it is a touch richer than blanc de blancs.
* Half bottles are available
