The 2015 Champagne 1er Cru Brut Special Club is a sparkling wine from Champagne, made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It is intense yellow in color. The nose opens with fresh licorice notes that move into dried and grilled fruit, then coffee and mocha as it evolves. The palate is fresh with fine minerality and a refined body.
Jules Lassalle founded this family-owned house in 1942 in Chigny-Les-Roses on the Montagne de Reims. After his death in 1982, his wife Olga and daughter Chantal Decelle-Lassalle took over, and Chantal's daughter Angéline Templier joined as winemaker in 2006. They farm sixteen hectares, all premier cru, and press and vinify each plot separately in the wooden basket press Jules installed. Their Champagnes complete malolactic fermentation, are riddled by hand, and are aged extensively in bottle.
