Colmant Methode Cap Classique Sec Reserve Non-Vintage

"Based on the 2014 vintage (and Pinot Noir to the tune of 50%), complemented by 45% reserve wines, Lanson's NV Brut Le Black Réserve was disgorged in July 2019 with seven grams per liter dosage. Mingling aromas of honeycomb and crisp yellow orchard fruit with hints of warm biscuits and orange oil, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming, with tangy underlying acids, a generous core of fruit and impressive complexity derived from the large percentage of reserve wines. Indeed, readers who—like me—lamented the demise of Lanson's Extra-Age Brut bottling will rediscover some of that cuvée's signature here." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
