Champagne Laurent Bénard Vibratis 1er Cru

Country: France
Place of Origin: Avenay-Val-d’Or,　Mareuil-sur-Aÿ
Winery: Champagne Laurent Bénard

Description: The color is golden yellow with golden reflection. The effervescence is strong and persistent. The nose is delicate, it asks us to immerse himself in it. It opens on exotic fruits, then some rhum baba and toffee. A hint of rose flagrance can be felt. The attack is strong on a mix of citrus and red fruit aromas. The body is aerial, light and ends with a tension full of aromatic herbs like sage. Each year, a Vibratis is born, a true reflection of the vintage and of our terroirs. The sulfur-free vinification, the fine selection of still wines, the absence of liquor result in a completely assumed wine, for which precision is the only guide. As each year is different, the Vibratis will be so. 2017 has started fresh and ended up with excess heat during the last stages of ripening. From there was created a beautiful combination of power and energy, that makes our palate vibrate intensely.
