Very forthy mousse.

Light yellow in the glass.

A riot of beads of fine bubbles.

Nutty, very doughy on the nose.

Medium weight, nutty, lemon, green apple, good acidity, almond paste, very clean, cloves, cider vinegar.

Drying, muthwatering, tangy with some bitter lemon peel on the finish.

Yummy.

Purchased at $42.95 (Canadian).

There is a plethora of champagne producers, and I keep seeing ones I've never heard of, but Lassalle (sp.) is an old friend!

I still have a bottle or two of his 1989 Blanc de blancs that is lovely.

Didn't correct the spelling as a criticism, Bruce, but for the sake of future readers doing a search, so they'd see your note! :mrgreen:
