2008 Champagne Clos Lanson Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut

The Clos Lanson Clos Lanson, a wine estate located in Reims, in the heart of the prestigious Champagne region, embodies the excellence and heritage of a long family tradition. Founded in 1760, Champagne Lanson-BCC has owned Clos Lanson for over two centuries. This estate is unique thanks to its walled enclosure, which creates a microclimate conducive to growing grapes of exceptional quality. Clos Lanson's champagne cuvées, mainly made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, are a harmonious blend of traditional winemaking methods and modern innovations. The 2008 vintage Weather conditions: Patience, regularity and freshness are the key words of this viticultural year, marked by a particularly challenging weather at the start of the vegetative cycle, then ideal for veraison. The dry and cool weather in summer, coupled with the specific microclimate of the Clos, allowed to harvest Chardonnay grapes on 15th September that boasted a rare balance between freshness and concentration. After twelve years on the lees, the wines of the Clos Lanson reveal a remarkable delicacy and purity. Dosage: 4g/L (Extra brut) Tasting notes: EYE: A light gold colour gently tinted with green shimmers and illuminated by a fine stream of bubbles. NOSE: Lively and precise on the nose with a delightful freshness. Fragrances of citrus and notes of pastries come together to shape an intense bouquet. PALATE: Chiselled on the palate, blending notes of yuzu, pear and orange blossom with real finesse. The subtle flavours of vanilla, hazelnut and coconut are the result of ageing in oak barrels, offering depth to the aromatic palette and a perfect balance for the freshness of this 2008 vintage. The wine appeals for its complexity and mineral purity
