2010 Jacques Lassaigne Clos Sainte Sophie Blancs de Blancs

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of iodine, citrus oil, dried fruits, peat and sotolon, the 2010 Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Clos Sainte-Sophie—the inaugural rendition of this microscopic bottling—is medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a chiseled, incisive profile despite its vinous style, concluding with a long and electric finish. Bottled under low pressure, with a correspondingly delicate mousse, this is a unique wine from Emmanuel Lassaigne.
