Laurent Perrier, Brut NV NV

(50% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 15% Pinot Meunier; 12 g/l dosage; L63PA113459): Light gold. Aromas of ripe citrus and orchard fruits, with suggestions of green tea and honey in the background. Supple and open-knit, with pliant pear and orange flavors picking up a touch of bitter herbacity with air. Closes on a spicy note, with good energy and a lingering note of white pepper.
