Lancelot-royer Cuvee millesime brut gr cru 2016

Lancelot-Royer brings us this Champagne from France, made with Chardonnay from the 2016 vintage. Chardonnay is the world's most famous white grape, remarkably versatile, ranging from crisp and citrusy when unoaked to rich and buttery with notes of apple, pear and, when oak-aged, vanilla and toast. Champagne earns those fine, persistent bubbles the hard way, through a traditional second fermentation right in the bottle. France is the spiritual home of wine, the place that gave us most of the world's classic styles and the whole idea that where a wine grows shapes how it tastes. Perfect for toasting, and surprisingly great with fish and chips or salty snacks. Chill it right down before pouring.
