The 2019 LaRue’s Blanc de Blancs opens with layers of freshly baked Brioche, fresh Meyer lemon, and hints of warm spice. As the generous mousse calms in the glass delicate white flowers emerge. On the palate the wine is fresh and energetic despite its lengthy time in tirage. Baked pear and candied ginger take turns with a lemony core at the forefront of each taste. The ample acidity is well balanced with a 5g/L dosage that brings a luscious richness and depth to the wine.
