Guy Larmandier - Champagne Signé François Vieilles Vignes Blanc De Blancs 2010 (750ml)

"Larmandier’s prestige cuvée is produced from their oldest parcels of Chardonnay in the grand cru village of Cramant (along with a small amount of fruit from a holding in the Grand Cru Chouil- ly), and it spends a full five years on the lees before disgorgement. The wine’s depth and richness is extraordinary, voicing the sap- py and dense character of the fruit François wrests from these old vines. Notes of pear tart, fresh figs, baked apples, and cher- ries frame a vibrant, expansive palate, and the wine’s chalky core shows itself in a clinging, almost salty finish." Rosenthal Wine Merchant
