Long, chiseled, and packed with energy, the 2012 Champagne Clos Lanson Extra Brut pours a bright yellow hue and offers pastry cream, lemon oil, green apple skin, pear confit, and fresh flowers. Medium to full-bodied, it is concentrated and vibrant, with a lively, focused mousse and tremendous persistence. Far more tension-driven than the 2011, this is still a baby and has a long life ahead. Drink 2028-2050.
