CRITIC REVIEWS
Anne Krebiehl MW
A blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 35% Pinot Meunier (of which 10% were added as red wine) with 15% Chardonnay, this opens with a very fruity, ready, vivid nose and reveals a touch of cherry and a hint of red apple. This is rather aromatic, primary and fresh. The palate is very light, juicy, foamy, easy and fresh. It comes with a soft body on light feet; it is refreshing while remaining rounded, pliable and supple.

No clue as to principal vintage or disgorgement date but there is code LAL 84 on the back label. 40–50% Pinot Noir of which 10% is still; 30–40% Pinot Meunier and 10–20% Chardonnay. Aged for 21 months before disgorgement with dosage 9 g/l. Quite a deep orangey pale strawberry colour. Not much nose but a lively mousse – fairly exuberant bubbles – that is just the right side of aggressive. Not too sweet with very lively acidity. Extremely fruity though, as I say, not too sweet. A little chewy on the end after a really mouth-filling palate. Respectable considering presumably the massive quantity.
