Lelarge-Pugeot

2011 Champagne AOC Les Charmes de Vrigny Extra Brut

The charm and restrained intensity of the Lelarge-Pugeot family captured in a single cuvée. Les Charmes is the premium counterpart to the entry-level Tradition, with fruit dating to the 2010 harvest and with ten years' ageing in bottle, adorning itself with the depth and nuance of time while maintaining its lithe, lifted, playful energy. Elegant notes of green apple join with citrus and fresh baked bread. The bucolic charms of this precious premier cru and its beloved Meunier are on full display in the wine's pastoral palate of wild flowers and herbs and grasses, showing petrichor and orchard fruit as it turns the corner from freshness into tertiary complexity.
