Jean Laurent Champagne Jean Laurent Blanc de Noirs Brut NV 750ml

Laurent’s NV Brut Blanc de Noirs wraps around the palate with rich, resonant fruit, honey, almonds, dried flowers and spices. Hints of ash, smoke and licorice develop in the glass, adding further complexity. Based on the wine’s complexity, I would not be surprised if there is a fair amount of reserve wine in this release. Disgorgement date: June 2012. Anticipated maturity: 2012–2016.

This has an angular quality to the integration of firm acidity, the lively bead and the flavors of damson plum, salted almond and grated ginger. The smoky underpinning lingers on the finish. Enjoy this with food, grilled shellfish or other seafood. Disgorged December 2021. Drink now. 4,930 cases imported.
