The NV Champagne Bio-Organic Extra Brut comes from Lanson’s estate in the Marne Valley, with 60 hectares organically and biodynamically farmed. (They do have Demeter certification.) A blend of mostly Pinot Noir, with 38% Chardonnay and 18% Meunier from 2018, with 10% reserve wine, this is an elegant release. A brilliant pale yellow color, the nose offers a similar floral perfume as the Black Creation, and the wine floats on the palate with a refreshing, medium-bodied frame, featuring a pillowy yet lively mousse and notes of white grapefruit, lemon verbena, citrus blossoms, fresh cream, white strawberries, and delicate saltiness, culminating in a mouthwatering finish. Drink 2025-2040. -A.F.
Crushed almond and white blossom hints accent this creamy Champagne, while a spine of firm tangerine peel acidity structures flavors of baked peach, dried papaya, smoke and toasted almond. Shows good focus through the lightly spiced finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. -A.N
