Lanson La Noble Cuvée Blanc de Blancs Champagne 2004

This has inviting notes of lemon curd, figs, roasted hazelnuts, chalk, nutmeg and apple crumble. Beautiful balance of rich flavors and freshness, with a medium to full body and sophisticated, elegant layers. Mineral and saline at the end. Long and vibrant. Grand Cru chardonnay. Drink or hold. Score – 96. (jamessuckling.com, Aug. 7, 2023)
