Champagne A. Lété — L'Avant-Garde Blanc de Noirs

L'Avant-Garde Blanc de Noirs

Champagne A. Lété | Blanc de Noirs

The L'Avant-Garde Blanc de Noirs from A. Lété – a champagne I'd rather open with a pairing like grilled chicken and potatoes, but it's also interesting on its own.

The label with the chess rook already catches the eye – according to the winemaker, it represents steadfastness in tradition, but with an eye toward the future. A philosophy that also shows in the glass: classic, artisanal, but with modern clarity.

A round, calm champagne with aromas of yellow stone fruit, mirabelle plum and a hint of hazelnut – a candidate that seems a bit restrained on the first sip, but opens beautifully.

Tasting Notes

A round, calm champagne with aromas of yellow stone fruit, mirabelle plum and a hint of hazelnut. Initially restrained, it opens beautifully over the course of the evening.
