Champagne Waris-Larmandier – V.M.H.J.P.L.I. 2008 – Extra Brut – Grand Cru

The nose is aromatic and offers a slight intensity. It reveals slight notes of fresh zests, lemon cream and a subtle hint of fresh grapefruit associated with hints of fresh apple as well as a subtle hint of exotic fruits/quenette as well as a hint of almond. The palate is very fresh, fruity, well-balanced and offers fat, a slight tension, suavity as well as a racy minerality. In the mouth this Champagne expresses notes of lemon zests, fresh lemon and slight notes of pink grapefruit associated with very discreet hints of fresh clementine as well as a hint of almond and a woody hint. Goog length and persistence. The persistence is a bit gourmande.
