Laurent Lequart 2012 Extra Brut [6/750]
This first vintage since the grandiose 2008 is a stylish and composed liaison of Meunier’s charm and Chardonnay’s vigour. Both components go through m.l., and the latter is aged in used barrels. The extended tirage lends the champagne exceptional elegance and integration.
