Grand Cru 2012

Lallier's Grand Cru Millésimé 2012 combines 55 per cent Pinot Noir with 45 per cent Chardonnay. The grapes come from the Grand Cru of Aÿ and from well-known Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs. The champagne aged for 84 months on the lees before dégorgement. You can taste it: ripe yellow fruit, white blossom and fine pastry, accompanied by honeyed notes. On the palate it is deep and persistent, while the freshness remains intact.

Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a large white wine glass so that the mature aromas can open up. It accompanies a whole menu: seafood and clams, risotto with scallops, raw vegetables, aged cheese or fruit desserts. A mature vintage champagne with structure and versatility at the table.
