Cuvee Rene Lalou 1998 Mumm

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (88)

The 1998 Brut Cuvee R. Lalou is a selection of the estate’s best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay parcels. In 1998 the blend is 50% Pinot Noir from Verzenay, Bouzy, Verzy and Ambonnay, and 50% Chardonnay from Avize and Cramant. The wine offers up buttery, toasty aromas along with a rich, almost tropical expression of fruit. This is a generous, honeyed style of Champagne that possesses excellent depth and lovely balance. The Cuvee R. Lalou is named after Rene Lalou, who spent 34 years at the company’s helm during which he rebuilt the house following World War II and established its present-day reputation.

An elegant rendition, this has mellowed to a mix of toast, coffee, honey and mineral flavors. There's a light grain to the texture and a freshness that lifts the finish.
