Classic blend of 55% chardonnay, 35% pinot noir, 10% meunier; 100% fermented in stainless steel—a Laurent-Perrier signature since the 1950s.

					<description><![CDATA[Deep gold color; hints of citrus and wildflowers on very light nose; lemon meringue, apricot, peach, golden apple on the palate. Brut (10 g/L RS) with excellent acidity (3.05 pH); clean, no bitterness or harsh edges. Fine and persistent bubbles. Crisp, refreshing from initial attack through the finish. Creamy mouthfeel intriguingly interacts with the crisp <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/vilarnau-brut-reserva-cava-nv/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Medium purple color; blueberry, spice on the nose; blueberry, ripe plum, blackberry jam, meat, tobacco on the palate. Off dry; medium body; reserved tannins and acidity (3.89 pH).

					<description><![CDATA[Myth busters enjoy a field day with wine. Some examples: • Dom Pierre Pérignon invented Champagne and proclaimed: “I am drinking stars.” Nope. The monk championed still wines and worked his entire 47 years at the Benedictine monastery trying to prevent his wines from getting fizzy. By Pérignon’s death in 1715, some makers encouraged fermentation <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/wine-myths-3/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wine has so intimately intertwined with humans for more than 8,000 years we tend to think what we sip today is similar, maybe the same, as ancient Greeks and Romans and Christians tasted. Nothing could be further from the truth. Wine today is product of radical changes in human understanding of wine and winemaking in <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/modern-wine/">Read More</a>]]></description>
