Laborie Méthode Cap Classique Blanc de Blancs 2011

This complex and indulgent MCC shows clarity of fruit on the nose. Hints of lime are accompanied by aromas of toasted bread and hazelnut. The palate is creamy, round and textured with an explosive acidity and lasting, elegant finish.

Served well chilled, this wine can be enjoyed on its own or with oysters, delicate seafood dishes and salads.
