David Leclapart (16) Brut Nature L' Aphrodisiaque

David Leclapart (16) Brut Nature L' Aphrodisiaque

Description: Wine Spectator 92 Points -"a chiseled Champagne that finds fine balance, with a firm backbone of acidity well-knit to the lacy mousse and mouthwatering favors of poached quince, juicy white cherry, grated ginger and toast. The long finish offers refreshing chalky mineral and lemon notes. Drink now through 2023. 180 cases made, 15 cases imported."-10/2018. This 2016 is just the second edition of this magical but unfortunately rare bottling. Lclapart's Aphrodisiaque Cuve is defined as: "capable of arousing sexual desire." This is a complex and meticulous blend of all the House's cuves in the most difficult years. It is a mix of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir 100% vinified in used Leflaive barrels. Its fine bubbles release an appealing nose featuring aromas of sweet-ripe citrus fruits, peach and red berries backed with notes of roasted nuts and some baked apple. A very complex palate in the mouth showing citrus spice and profound minerality with a lot of tension as well as great length and grace.
