2006 J. Lassalle Brut Blanc de Blanc

Wine Spectactor (WS)

Fresh and floral, with bright acidity framing the finely-knit flavors of Honeycrisp apple, honey, lemon parfait and slivered almond. Harmonious and lacy in texture, with a mouthwatering, saline-tinged finish. Drink now through 2026. 63 cases imported. –AN (2015)

The 2006 Blanc de Blancs Brut 1er Cru is bright, precise and finely sculpted throughout. Lemon peel, mint, white flowers and sage are all pushed forward, with slightly richer, more tropical notes that lurk in the background. Poised and beautifully centered, the 2006 is a terrific choice for drinking over the next decade or so. -- Antonio Galloni (Nov 2015)
