Jean Laurent Brut Blanc de Noirs 'La Griffe de l'Ource' 2008 brand_Fattoria La Valentina and 5% Cabernet FrancThis vintage Blanc de Blancs from grower Jean Laurent has all the magic Chardonnay has to give. Fruit with toasty backnotes, great structural minerality, and fine mousse. This textured wine shows tannins as well as ripe fruits. More than a decade on, it is still young, with a tight, taut character to balance the fruitiness.
