H. Lanvin & Fils Brut
| Description: | Cellar Master's Notes -"1,000 days of patience were required to obtain the perfect aromatic balance between freshness and indulgence: this champagne reveals subtle aromas of white fruits and vanilla. The palate is fruity with an intense and balanced attack of peach, apricot and brioche followed by a long and lively finish of citrus fruit. Deep golden hue. The nose is inviting with ripe apple and toasted brioche notes. The palate is subtle with fine bubbles, showing favors of bruised apple, pear, lemon and a bit of toast. The fnish is long and lively with a touch of citrus zest.". Technical Notes -a blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Meunier and 20% Chardonnay; Champagne Lombard implements selection parcellaire, isolating each vineyard lot during the fermentation and aging processes to preserve the singularity and quintessence of each terroir. Alcoholic fermentation in thermo-regulated, stainless-steel tank. No fining. No malolactic fermentation on the Chardonnay sourced from Mesnil-Sur-Oger. The cuve was then aged 6 months in steel vats before bottling. After bottling it was aged on yeast for 24 months before be disgored and finishe wth a dosage of9 g/L. Founded in 1925, Champagne Lombard is a small family-owned Champagne house located in Epernay, just north of the prestigious Cte des Blancs, that has been crafting Champagnes for almost 100 years. H. Lanvin et Fils was introduced by the house in 1931 in honor of the deep friendship formed between grower Henry Lanvin and Champagne Lombard founder Robert Andrieu, himself a farmer from Southwestern France. Philippe Lombard (Roberts son-in-law) took over the estate in the 1960s, and today, his son Thierry Lombard is at the helm. The family owns 25 acres of vineyards located in the Montagne de Reims, the Valle de lArdre and in the Cte des Bars. All of the vineyards of the estate are farmed sustainably with a number of them in organic conversion. The H. Lanvin et Fils Brut sources grapes from the best terroirs of Champagne, among which are the prestigious Grand Crus of Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Cramant, Chouilly (in the Cte des Blancs), and Verzenay and Ambonnay in the Montagne de Reimspaying homage to the diversity of terroirs in Champagne. |
