The Wine Library Reviews

Region: Champagne, France

Wine: 1998 Lason Noble Cuvee, Brut

Colour: Sparkling White

Grape: 70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir

A lovely mousse, with sweet brioche and dough on the nose, followed by citrus, melon, honey and a hint of floral. This is balanced by the trademark high acidity, good fruit and a long, intense finish.

Food Matching: A little more body lends this to foie gras on toasted brioche, white meats, pork and heavier fish.
