Jacques Lassaigne, Millesime Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature 2014
Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 2014 Brut Nature Millésimé Blanc de Blancs is a pure Chardonnay from Montgueux. Chalk and melted butter meet on the nose. The palate is slender and salty, with an edge of caramelized white currant and a touch of white, fresh field mushroom. The saltiness lasts with that slender, smooth, lemony expression. There is almost something of salted, preserved lemon peel about this. Subtle but bright and long. Disgorged: January, 2023. - Anne Krebiehl MW
About the Producer
Jacques Lassaigne is a distinguished winemaker from the Montgueux region of Champagne, known for his exceptional Chardonnay-based wines. The family-owned vineyard spans 4.7 hectares and features prime southeastern exposure, ideal for ripening grapes. This area, historically reserved for the Montrachet of Champagne, showcases a terroir similar to the renowned Côte des Blancs, providing a unique foundation for high-quality sparkling wines. Emmanuel Lassaigne, Jacques' son, has been at the helm since 1999, pioneering innovative techniques that focus on individual vineyard parcels. His commitment to natural winemaking is evident through the use of indigenous yeasts and minimal sulfur, allowing the true character of the grapes and terroir to shine. Notably, he hand-disgorges all bottles, a rare practice in Champagne, ensuring meticulous quality control. Among Lassaigne's celebrated offerings is the Vignes de Montgueux Brut Blanc de Blancs, a blend from nine different vineyard sites, known for its vibrant acidity and mineral complexity. The wine features aromas of citrus and dried fruits, with a lively palate that pairs beautifully with seafood. This dedication to craftsmanship and terroir makes Jacques Lassaigne a standout producer in the world of natural Champagne.
