| Review: |
"The Brut Tradition bottling from Jean-Paul Lancelot hails from a plot of vines in the lieu à dit of Les Monts Aigous in Chouilly, which was planted in 1957, and another in the lieu à dit of Les Monts Chenevaux in Oger that were planted all the way back in 1953. The current release is excellent, delivering a fine bouquet of pear, golden delicious apple, a lovely foundation of chalky minerality, fresh-baked bread, incipient notes of crème patissière, almond and a topnote of apple blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, nascently complex and full, with a rock solid core of fruit, excellent mineral drive, frothy mousse and a long, vibrant and very, very promising finish. This is already quite tasty, but clearly will deliver more with a bit more bottle age and still has a long life ahead of it! Fine, fine juice." |
