95 Laurent-Perrier, Champagne Brut

This is easily the winery's best wine, beautifully fresh with lemon-rind brioche on the nose, bold tastes of lemon custard, alligator pastry, and creme brulee, and a creamy, zesty yeastiness that can only be described as the house style of Laurent-Perrier. Nearly as fresh as the non-vintage, it's a wonder that this could possibly be more than a year old, much less more than ten. Thanks, Drew.
