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 would open more for a pairing like grilled chicken with potatoes, but it's also interesting on its own.

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

A round, calm champagne with aromas of yellow stone fruit, mirabelle and a touch of hazelnut, a candidate that seems somewhat reserved on the first sip, but opens up beautifully.

Tasting Notes

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