LETOURNEAU. Method Traditionelle. Blanc de Blancs
Price per Bottle £14.39 Including VAT at 17.5% |
|
| For many years Letourneau was a pepinieriste or vine cultivator in Champagne, and he is a close friend of Grand Cru Champagne producer Michel Arnould. Perhaps this accounts for his great skill in producing sparkling wine in the Maconnais. <br>His sparkling white Burgundy is produced from 100% Chardonnay in the small village of Burgy, just north of Macon. It has a wonderfully clean, fresh nose and great balance of body and acidity. <>!!
