Laurent-Perrier Brut Millésimé 2018
, Chardonnay "Laurent-Perrier very rarely makes vintages, declaring less than one out of two years compared with the market average of over three out of four years. The year 2018 was marked by a mild winter and spring, accompanied by rainfall that encouraged vine growth from budburst, observed in mid-April. Flowering began in early June. The warm and sunny summer provided ideal conditions for grape ripening. Harvesting started at the end of August and took place under perfectly stable weather conditions. The grapes, of exceptional quality and great generosity, promised a harmonious and promising vintage. A fresh, airy nose expressing aromas of fresh citrus (pink grapefruit) and stone fruits (vine peach and mirabelle plum). A precise, lively palate offering notes of candied citrus (clementine) mingled with softer pastry and acacia honey notes, perfectly balanced. A slightly mineral and delicately saline finish that enhances the wine’s length on the palate." - House Notes
