NV AR Lenoble Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs

["The apple-scented NV Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs (L-231-323-01) is a highly focused, delineated, and pure sparkling wine filled with zesty apple and floral flavors. It has outstanding length yet lacks the friendly, expansive nature of the regular Brut cuvee. Those who enjoy aging their Champagnes may well find that this wine will blossom with cellaring. Projected maturity: 2004-2009. - RP"]

["A lively Champagne, well-knit and lacy in texture, with an expressive mix of yellow peach, candied ginger, honeysuckle and toasted almond. There's a pleasing juiciness to the graphite- and spice-accented finish. Drink now through 2027. 1,500 cases made, 150 cases imported. — AN (12/2020)"]

["(L12 142 06 09 07): Light yellow. Fresh pear and honeysuckle aromas are complemented by ginger, honey and toasty lees. Dry and precise, offering energetic orchard and citrus fruit flavors and a hint of anise that gains strength with air. Finishes toasty and long, with resonating spiciness and a suave floral quality. I also tried a bottling of this wine with a second lot number (L13 276 10 10 11) and found it of similar quality but somewhat more taut, showing a greater emphasis on bitter citrus pith and a hint of white pepper.-JR"]
