Cuvee R. Lalou is named for Rene Lalou, a former president of G.H. Mumm, a house that prides itself on using grapes from the oldest and most distinguished vineyards in France's Champagne region. While G.H. Mumm made its first fine champagne in 1827, Cuvee R. Lalou is only released in the very best years; there have been just nine vintages since Lalou first produced it in 1966. The 1985 Cuvee R. Lalou is ranked as one of the top 20 vintages of ...

A cold winter and a mild late spring cued for a perfect June allowing early and fast flowering. Outstanding weather conditions prevailed and the season went on without dramatic turns. Rains in August raised concerns regarding gray rot, but finally sunshine and dry conditions throughout September resulted in an abundant crop of largely healthy fruit (11,930 kg/ha).

Written Notes
Good looking normal size bottle, in an excellent condition and level is 2cm ullage below the cork. Colour is straw, deep and full. On the nose it is intense, wide, opulent, seductive and generous. The taste is full, rich, vigor, perfumed, fragrant, full-bodied, with concentrated, well-integrated, balanced structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has tropical fruits, violet, perfumed, buttery, cassis, citrus and apricot flavours. The finish is long, gentle, extensive and flavorful. This wine is transparent, sophisticated and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 15min before tasting. Good value for money. I do recommend.
