Larmandier Bernier Les Chemins d’Avize Grand Cru Extra Brut 2007 750ml/Btl 6/case

Description

William Kelley: The 2011 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru LesChemins d'Avize is superb, unfurling in the glass with a classybouquet of warm biscuits, waxy citrus rind, buttered yellow applesand hints of gingerbread. On the palate, the wine is broad,full-bodied and powerful, with an ample core of fruit, ripe acids,superb concentration and a delicate mousse, concluding with a longfinish. From the southeast-facing Chemin de Plivot and Chemin deFlavigny lieux-dits, this is the most generous, sun-kissed wine inthe range. It's fermented in old barrels and sees four years surlattes, followed by disgorgement with two grams per liter dosage.This Champagne displays some of the textural qualities of anexcellent white Burgundy, and its glorious bouquet shows that ripegrapes and minimal dosage can deliver all the aromatic plenitudethat some commentators contend only derives from added sugar andbottle age.
