His daughter and granddaughter, Chantal and Angéline, now run the domaine, following the same strictly-traditional standards Jules established. They use the same wooden basket press he installed in the winery over fifty years ago, pressing and vinifying the individual plots separately. It is one of the rare Champagnes that has been allowed to finish its malolactic fermentation, just like the great whites from the Côte d’Or. Every bottle is riddled by hand, and all cuvées are aged extensively once in bottle. This traditional blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir is best for luxuriant dishes, like lobster bisque baked en croûte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eThe Cuvée\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis grower Champagne's bottling embodies Lassalle's signature, bold-yet-finessed house style par excellence. The \"Cuvée Préférence\" is a subtle evocation of the senses, a constantly renewing enchantment of magical bubbles. A traditional blend of 60% Pinot Meunier, 20% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir, the grapes come from 50-year-old vines planted in clay and limestone in over 13 premier cru hectares and farmed organically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExpert Rating\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“With an emphasis on pinot meunier (close to 60 percent), this wine shows the richness of its long aging on the lees in toasty notes and creamy textures. Its fresh cider-apple fruit lasts, brightening the wine’s line of chalky acidity to focus on a creamy chicken vol-au-vent.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e91 points, Wine \u0026amp; Spirits (Dec 2020)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTechnical Notes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged 48 months on the lees before disgorgement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent disgorgement: Stamped on bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintages in the current disgorgement: 2018, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged for a minimum of 4 months after blending in enamel lined tanks before bottling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDosage: 8g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottle Size: 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Champagne, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrapes: Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Champagne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54438768279835,"sku":"210000061353","price":45.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/tit2vx9brphaqmqxdgup.jpg?v=1793296087","url":"https:\/\/67wine.com\/products\/j-lassalle-champagne-cuvee-preference-1er-cru-brut-nv-750ml-rm","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
