Mumm RSRV R. Lalou 2008 Magnum (1.5L)

From the 12 selected plots or localities of the Maison Mumm vineyard—divided equally between Pinot Noir on the Montagne de Reims and Chardonnay on the Côte des Blancs—seven were selected for the unique RSRV Lalou 2002 Magnum blend—Les Hannepés, Les Crupots, Les Rochelles, Les Houles, Les Briquettes, Les Bionnes, and La Croix de Cramant. 

These seven wines were first pressed separately, then fermented individually in barrels. Aging over ten years and a minimal dosage of six grams per liter add an extra stamp of quality, creating an expressive wine that fully reveals its complex, elegant aromas.

To the eye: A golden colour with bright glints.

On the nose: Luscious notes of fresh butter and milky caramel give way to aromas of ripe yellow fruit. Complex notes of toast, vanilla, honey and hazelnuts then develop.

On the palate: The attack is full and deep, confirming the roundness and complex aromatic palette identified on the nose.
