Lafalise-Froissart "Cuvée 108" Grand Cru Champagne (2021) NV

Jeb Dunnuck : 96+ Points

(12/20/2024) The NV Champagne 108 Extra Brut takes us back to Verzenay. Entirely Pinot Noir, it has 15-20% reserve wine from 2019 with the base wine from 2021. It pours a bright silver straw color, and the nose is boisterous and exuberantly pure, with notes of framboise and wild raspberries, crushed roses, toasted bread, and delicate spice. Moving to the palate, it offers full-bodied richness, with a refined and pinpoint mousse, fantastic, mouthwatering mineral persistence, and a great, long finish. It is an exceptional wine that makes a bold statement in the range with incredible nobility and Pinot Noir spice. I would love to drink this alone or with a simple cheese course to meditate over the bottle. Drink 2025-2040. It saw 5 grams per liter dosage. Maturity 2025 - 2040.
