Guy Larmandier Vertus Brut Zero Premier Cru Champagne, NV Sauternes It’s velvety smooth and full-bodied"Sporting a markedly floral, chalky nose, this Vertus 1er Cru has a schiseled frame of a brut zero but it is not excessively bone dry on the palatethe ample character typical of the village manifests itself in a round overall texture. The wine is firm without being hard, with a great interplay of supple fruit and intense stoniness. Comprised of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir, aged for 3 years on the lees before disgorgement."
