Veuve Laperrière is produced by Maison Ackerman. Founded in 1811, they are the oldest sparkling wine company in France's famed Loire Valley, with 200 years of winemaking experience. 100% Chardonnay, it is a richly weighted, creamy fizz with lovely fresh stone fruits and zesty citrus on the palate. It's really clean and refreshing but some yeasty / brioche notes bring a more serious side into play. The finish is long, dry and very satisfying. Five Stars.93 points. Sam Kim.
