Champagne Lallier has recently announced a zero dosage wine - showing a return to a unique French wine-making tradition.

Fruit for the cuvee is exclusively Grands Crus (80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay), this wine has aged 4 years on lattes with cork stoppers maintained by staples. A feature particularly with bottles and magnums for just a few bottles. The wine undergoes partial malolactic fermentation.

After many years spent in the quiet of their vaults, the "Zero Dosage" Champagne has no further sugar added to the blend.

It seduces with its maturity and delightful elegance. The attack is frank, vivacious and creamy. The aromas are well advanced and the finish is a beautiful minerally.
