LALLIER MILLESIME 2010 GRAND CRU - R1150

Such a gastronomic approach rewards the House with a presence on many Michelin star tables around the world.
One of the rare houses headed by the winemaker, the Cuvées are crafted exclusively with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Grand Cru vineyards, leading to a style of finesse and precision for ultimate drinking enjoyment.

Tasting Notes:
2010 was a year of full maturity with an elegant richness in natural sugar and an interesting acidity. The freshness from the chardonnay comes first immediately well counterbalanced by the generosity of the pinot noir. Without artifice thanks to its low-dosage, our 2010 vintage is a 100% accurate image of the 2010 harvest, as required by vintage Champagne specifications.
- Aspect: A pleasant golden colour that develops into shiny amber glints.
- Nose: Its elegant nose suggests notes of fresh citrus and pears. The many years spent in our cellars enable us to appreciate beautifully matured aromas such as honey, torrefied notes and even mocha.
- Palate: It’s a generous and complex wine that will please one’s senses where the freshness of chardonnay is immediately counterbalanced by the generosity of pinot noir.
- Food pairings: A gorgeous Champagne and loyal companion of “the art of drinking and eating well”! It will sublimate the most delicious foods with a minimum of characters such as farm-raised poultry or a strong coffee-based tiramisu.
