J. Lassalle Preference Premier Cru Brut NV

The color is bright light yellow. The freshness associated with a beautiful minerality bursts at first glance. Then the fruitiness sets in, evoking white fruits (pear, apple) or ripe yellow fruits (apricot, peach) underlined with a hint of liquorice or even fennel, signature of the fine Pinots Noirs of the Montagne de Reims. The palate is round, smooth and lively. The texture on the palate fluctuates from fullness / vinosity to freshness / minerality ("chalky" character). The finish appears saline, giving the champagne a quality persistence. A very balanced and tasty champagne.
