1996 Blanc de Blancs LD

This is Iron Horse's "tête de cuvée", our top of the line. It is composed of the family's favorite lots of wine from a fabulous vintage for bubbly, bottled and laid down in March 1997, aged for eight years, then freshly or "late" disgorged beginning in December 2005. Everything about this wine is a lift. It is extremely refined, almost weightless, yet incredibly rich and has a freshness and crispness that belies the wine's age.

Food Pairing

Stunning with warm endive salad with shaved Parmigiano and truffles, Maine lobster and corn cakes, caramelized guinea fowl with morel risotto.
