Guy Larmandier 'GL' Vertus Premier Cru Brut, Champagne, France NV Rosso di Montepulciano and graceful mineralitySporting a markedly floral, chalky nose, this Vertus Premier Cru has a chiseled frame of a brut zero but it is not excessively bone dry on the palatethe ample character typical of the village manifests itself in a round overall texture. The wine is firm without being hard, with a great interplay of supple fruit and intense stoniness. Comprised of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, aged for three years on the lees before disgorgement.
