Pale gold in color with fine, persistent bubbles, and a delicate, fresh aroma that harmoniously blends citrus and white flower notes. The "fresh," "elegant," and "well-balanced" Brut L.P. is perfect as an aperitif. It is aged for 3 years, with 3 months of that time spent outside, and the dosage (sugar addition) is kept to a minimum (12 grams per liter) to maintain balance and natural freshness. I have stored this in a warehouse since receiving it this year. The bottle is in good condition, but please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection. Instant purchase welcome. No price reduction.
