Lanson Champagne Brut Gold Label 2008 Color:White head distiller Dave SmithSmoke and marzipan notes are layered with baked currant and lemon curd flavors in this lively Champagne, with a creamy mousse. Balanced and accessible, showing spice and toast accents on the clean cut finish. Quite pure grilled almonds and lemons, dried cherries and almost curry like spices, plus chalky minerals and stony savory notes. The palate has a fine, even and balanced shape. Lemon citrus, pear and apple flavors run amid nicely phrased acidity.
