TASTING NOTES
A favourite of the Bossanova crew, this creamy wine offers a great depth of flavour. Persistent bubbly mousse with ripe, rich fruits of fresh and bruised apple, apricots and a tangy hint of orange zest, hazelnuts, brioche and creme brûlée.

Lelarge-Pugeot is an eighth-generation winery in the Premier Cru village of Vrigny on the rolling slopes of the Montagne de Reims (about 15 minutes west of Reims). It is a real family operation, helmed by the two parents, Dominique and Dominique, and supported by their kids.
The family’s 8.7 hectares of vineyards, which are planted mostly with Pinot Meunier, face northward, offering some protection from the effects of global warming, though Clémence is quick to note that they can now make red wines for the first time in the history of Champagne.
The domaine, which has been Demeter-certified biodynamic since 2017, is comprised of 42 distinct parcels where Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay are grown at elevations of 400 ft on sandy/clay terroir.
