The fruity, grape flavour and freshness so characteristic of this style are admirably conveyed and enhanced by the extreme delicacy of the Chardonnay grape, which is one of the major components of the blends for this Grande Cuvée.

Written Notes

Lanson’s prestige cuvee is the excellent ‘Noble Cuvee’ 2002 (A$210). Normally a blend of around 70/30 Chardonnay to Pinot Noir, the grapes are all from Grand Cru vineyards. 2002 is a brilliant vintage and this is a wonderfully fragrant wine with notes of honey and rose petals over a slightly minerally note.
