description: Jacques LASSAIGNE 'Autour de Minuit' Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature 2018 Jacques Lassaigne “Autour de Minuit” Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature 2018 is a singular, zero‑dosage Chardonnay from old vines in Montgueux, aged three years in Vin Jaune barrels (from Jean‑François Ganevat) and then three years on lees.
