Champagne Guy Larmandier Cots Des Blancs Vertus Brut Zero

FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE

Size750MLVintageNVSKU28607

Sporting a more markedly floral, chalky nose than the classic disgorgement, this new "Brut Zero" version of the Vertus 1er Cru has a similarly chiseled frame to the Cramant above. However, it is less obviously bone-dry on the palate-the ample character the village manifesting itself in a rounder overall texture. The wine is firm without being hard, with a great interplay of supple fruit and intense stoniness.

Champagne Roger Coulon Brut l'Hommee 1er Cru

FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE

Size750MLVintage2011SKU27830

Produced exclusively from Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir and aged for 5 years prior to disgorgement; much of this blend is based on fruit from the old vines parcel of Pinot Meunier known as Les Linguets in Vrigny that was planted in 1953; the wine is neither filtered nor fined and only a minimal dosage is applied when this vintage Champagne is disgorged.

FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE

Size750MLVintageNVSKU24410

A blend of equal amounts of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with 15 percent Pinot Meunier, this is vinified without malolactic fermentation, mellowed by its dosage. That touch of sweetness comes almost as a relief, bringing resonance to the wine

The bouquet offers up a fine constellation of white peach, apple, lovely Meunier floral tones, lovely minerality and a hint of lemon zest in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very nicely balanced, with a good core, a fine sense of bounce, elegant mousse and lovely cut and grip on the seamless and classy finish.
