Lanson, Clos Lanson Vintage:2009 cool and strikingly elegant nose

cool and strikingly elegant nose combines notes of spice tea and floral nuances with those of white and yellow orchard fruit

(this vineyard is worked by horse and plow because there is no path for a tractor)

and certainly one of the finest of the white Chateauneuf du Papes

leather and sublime red and black fruits

As good as this is though

Lanson, Clos Lanson Vintage:2009 cool and strikingly elegant noseThe 2009 Brut Blanc de Blancs Clos Lanson is showing beautifully, mingling aromas of pear, green apple and citrus oil with hints of fresh pastry, sourdough and nutmeg. Full bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and incisive, with lovely tension and chalky back end grip, concluding with a long and penetrating finish. 2009 marks the third vintage of biodynamic farming for this small, one hectare vineyard.
