2012 AR Lenoble Champagne Grand Cru Blanc De Blancs

In contrast to the expressiveness of the Zéro Dosage, here the nose is discreet to the point of being almost shy with its timid aromas of quinine, lemon-lime and soft yeast nuances. There is exceptionally good richness to the full-bodied and concentrated medium-bodied flavors where the supporting mousse is on the softer side on the moderately dry finale. As with a number of examples from the 2012, this is a wine that could be enjoyed now or held for a few more years first. My inclination would be to drink it over the next five or so years.
