LOMBARD GRAND CRU BLANC DE BLANC EXTRA

A blend of wine from four Côte des Blancs villages, this is crisp, very dry in the Lombard style while also smooth from the short wood aging. Mineral and tangy, it is a bottling (disgorgement January 2016) that could age a bit longer. Drink from 2017.

Lombard Description

This zero-dosage Champagne made from 100% Chardonnay grown in the Grand Cru terroir of the Cote des Blancs is a delicate mineral expression of our growers estates.

Pure mineral sensation with an intense and persistent fragrance of candied orange and pineapple notes with a bit of toasted brioche. Subtle but rich with laser sharp acidity and tiny pearls of refined chardonnay essence.

Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points

This is an impressive wine. From the floral aromas to the crisp mineral-driven texture, the wine is tense, structured and very stylish. The apple, green plum and nervy texture are of a piece with the Chardonnay fruit from some of the finest villages in the Côte des Blancs. Drink this wine now. ROGER VOSS
