The wine offers aromas of lemon, green apple and white peach alongside dried flowers, citrus peel, brioche, toasted almond and subtle chalky mineral notes. Disgorged in April 2024, its extended time on lees has added further texture and developed complexity while retaining the freshness and mineral character of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOn the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and beautifully textured, with vibrant acidity and fine, persistent bubbles supporting layers of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate stone fruit. Lemon, white peach and ripe apple are complemented by citrus peel, brioche, almond and gentle pastry notes, while a fine chalky and saline mineral character provides tension and length. Subtle savoury, nutty and honeyed nuances emerge as the wine opens, giving it a more mature and layered personality. The finish is dry, long and persistent, with lingering citrus, toasted almond, mineral and delicate pastry notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Champagne drinkers who enjoy mature Blanc de Blancs with developed complexity, fine texture and mineral freshness. The 2017 vintage is drinking beautifully now, with bottle and lees age bringing additional nutty, savoury and pastry character while the acidity keeps the wine balanced. Best enjoyed now or over the next 6–10 years. Serve chilled with oysters, seared scallops with brown butter, smoked trout, lobster, roast chicken with morels, or aged Comté and mature hard cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eInfo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"846\" style=\"height: 122.517px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.5868px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 22.5868px; text-align: center; width: 316.507px;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22.5868px; text-align: left; width: 356.653px;\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5833px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5833px; text-align: center; width: 316.507px;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5833px; width: 356.653px;\"\u003eMouzon Leroux\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20.5903px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 20.5903px; text-align: center; width: 316.507px;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20.5903px; width: 356.653px;\"\u003eChardonnay\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20.5903px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 20.5903px; text-align: center; width: 316.507px;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20.5903px; width: 356.653px;\"\u003eBlanc de Blancs Champagne\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5833px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5833px; text-align: center; width: 316.507px;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5833px; width: 356.653px;\"\u003e2017\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5833px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5833px; text-align: center; width: 316.507px;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5833px; text-align: left; width: 356.653px;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mouzon-Leroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67893498380603,"sku":"25422-750","price":384.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2017ChampagneMouzonLerouxL_opiniatreBlancdeBlancs.png?v=1793732499","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2017-champagne-mouzon-leroux-lopiniatre-blanc-de-blancs","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
