Lelarge-Pugeot

2010 Champagne AOC Quintessence Extra Brut

Drinking now and worthy of further ageing, Lelarge-Pugeot's Quintessence grows more intoxicating with every year of age. The wine greets with a golden hue and a lovely perlage. The nose is finely tuned with fresh scents of pear, apple, and apricot, buttressed by notes of fresh almonds and hazelnuts. On the palate it is well rounded by time and robust with fruit, it has softly sanded edges and an effortless balance. Cool and elegant with a mile long citrusy finish.
