Tasting notes
The 2012 Brut Spécial Club is gorgeous. Radiant and expansive in the glass, the 2012 offers up a compelling mélange of dried pear, apricot spice, chamomile crushed flowers and almond. There’s lovely complexity and nuance, as well as captivating balance between the freshness that is such a house signature with the natural radiance of the year. The 2012 can be enjoyed now or cellared for a decade, maybe more. It’s a gorgeous wine in every way.

The 2012 Special Club is a pretty rich, heady Champagne by Lassalle standards, and yet it remains wonderfully lifted and gracious. Orchard fruit, white flowers, lemon confit and light butter notes are nicely delineated. Like all of these wines, the 2012 Special Club is incredibly delicate and sensual from start to finish.
