  Producer: Champagne Lelarge-PugeotRegion: Vrigny, Champagne, FranceVarietal: 100% ChardonnayYear: Non-Vintage  Decanter, 95 Points  "From a family of winegrowers since 1799, Lelarge-Pugeot are based in Vrigny, a Premier Cru village located in Montagne de Reims. Certified both organic and biodynamic, Dominique Lelarge and his wife Dominique Pugeot focus on producing wines with minimal intervention in the winery, to truly express the terroir. The grapes for the Blancs de Blancs Extra Brut Premier Cru are a blend of 5 parcels selected from sandy loam and calcareous marl soils, and the wine undergoes 4 years of lees ageing prior to release."  Winemaker Notes:    "Like many of the Lelarge-Pugeot wines, this Blanc de Blancs is stunning. An initial crisp acidity gives way to generous floral, ripe pear, peach and citrus notes, complemented by a subtle twist of orange peel and dried fruit complexity, full of finesse with a long, lingering finish."  About the Producer:  "Champagne Lelarge-Puge
