A.R. Lenoble ‘Cuvee Intense Mag 20’ Brut

Description

Champagne, France. W.S 91 pts, VINOUS 91 pts,

This is an elegant Champagne with a dominance of Pinot Noir from the premier cru vineyards of Bisseuil and Pinot Meunier of Damery with a touch of Grand Cru
Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, with 40% reserve wine which when blended provides soft nutty flavour with fine bubbles and a fruity nose. Fresh acidity complements the brioche and baked apple pie notes which can be tasted long into the finish. Some of the reserve wine was aged in magnums which is considered to be the best format for ageing Champagne as it slows oxidation and results in more complexity.
