2002 A.R. Lenoble Blanc de Blancs Chouilly

The 2002 Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Le Millesime Par Lenoble will require considerable patience, as it remains tightly coiled, inward and painfully young. With air, the wine’s poise and beautifully articulated Chardonnay fruit begin to emerge. Even today, it is impossible not to admire the wine’s crystalline purity and long, chiseled finish. This is Lot L 102862402, disgorged October 7, 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022. Dec 2010, www.robertparker.com
