"Clos de Leon" 1er Cru Brut, Marc Hebrart 2014

This round, rich Champagne has a plush creaminess, which is well met by a backbone of racy acidity that drives finely meshed flavors of baked nectarine and apricot fruit, candied lemon peel and ginger, pastry cream and toasted hazelnut as they expand on the palate and through to the zesty finish.

A lush version, with a sense of restraint.
