PASCAL LALLEMENT CHAMPAGNE BRUT PREMIER CRU 750ML

Pascal Lallement’s Brut Champagne is exactly the wine one would expect from a top village in the Montagne de Reims. Organically farmed Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier makeup the base of this attractive sparkler with 25% Chardonnay providing its bright acidity. The 48-60 months spent on the lees lends a fresh-baked bread aroma ‘a la’ Bollinger, with a lively green apple, quince, and meyer lemon component.  Great depth and complexity with a pleasing citrus finish.

In the glass, Lallement’s Premier Cru Brut displays a light golden core with slight gold and green reflections at the rim, with a fine ‘bead’ (string of bubbles). The intense and creamy nose charms with aromas of rising brioche, baked apple croissant, lemon curd, honeysuckle, crushed hazelnut, a bouquet of white flowers, crushed chalk, and an underlying hint of redcurrant. It is full-bodied by Champagne standards and coats the palate with creamy, round notes of hazelnut purée, sweet apple, spun honey, and rising bread dough.
