Lanvin Champagne Brut NV (France)

Description

Cream, Dry, Honey

"This non-vintage expression makes another of its regular appearances among our top placegetters. It’s a fresh, approachable style with bready complexity taking the lead and sweet nougat in a secondary role. Fine and tight in structure, gently textured, it represents outstanding value" Cuisine Magazine, Issue 185, November / December 2017

"This label is consistently excellent. The bouquet is classic Champagne - yeasty with subtle citrus, stone fruit and apple notes. And the palate is silky smooth with rich texture and beautifully integrated acidity. The wine flows seamlessly to a satisfying finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, December 2012

A pale, gold champagne colour with fine notes and continuous bubbles in the glass. The bouquet is very stylish with creamy fruit, toasty yeast influence, smoky complexity and honeyed maturity. It tastes elegant, long and smooth with lovely richness and fine texture. It is fresh and soft on the palate and finishes with a lemon flavour.
