Jean Laurent, "Le Griffe de l'Ource," Champagne, France, Pinot Noir, 2010 Syrah and a hint of jalapeñoAn absolute stunner. A rich and complex Champagne with notes of tart fresh raspberries and red currants with luscious pastry cream. Aged for almost a decade prior to release, this is a special bottle of wine. Enjoy with lobster thermidor or Chinese roast duck.
