Wine of the Week: A Superb Champagne

Finally some heat and what better way to enjoy the warm summer than a great and affordable champagne?

The history of our Lanois goes back to 1872 when the house of Launois Père et Fils was founded in the village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Located on the prestigious Côte des Blancs, the home of the very best Chardonnay grapes, the vineyards are classified
as “Grand Cru”: la crème de la crème. And it shows in this weeks wine

Tasting notes:

Launois Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut 2011
An outstanding Blanc de Blanc. A lot of citrus fruits on both the nose and in the mouth. Great minerality, acidity and length. A perfect aperitif for these long summer days.
