J. Lassalle Cuvee Angeline Brut 2011 (1.5L)

92 Points, Alison Napus, Wine Spectator: “A harmonious Champagne, with a delicate mousse caressing the palate, carrying a subtle weave of Asian pear, slivered almond, lemon pith, minerally chalk and saline flavors. Fresh and lightly floral on the finish. Drink now through 2026. 150 cases imported.” 01/19

91 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: “Like the '09 Blanc de Blancs, the nose is discreet and cool but notably more elegant with its more yeast-inflected nose that offers plenty of Meyer lemon character with touches of Granny Smith apples and quinine. The supporting mousse is delicate and fine and while it's certainly present, it's not especially firm while the sneaky long finish is quite crisp, indeed it's bone dry. As is usually the case with this cuvée, it's elegant and refined but packs plenty of flavor authority.” 10/19
