Description
Delicious as an aperitif, this Champagne is also complex and rich enough to be enjoyed with the meal. It displays a shimmering golden hue, highlighted by delicate, vivacious and long-lasting bubbles, the direct result of the house's long and slow maturing process, which takes place in its famous chalk caves (known as crayères). The sophisticated harmony and luxuriously creamy texture are immediately notable. Clouds of heavenly bubbles put into high relief voluptuous notes of freshly baked brioche, toasted almond, and the richness of sun-ripened apricot, mango and plum/peach, with a touch of pistachio, macadamia, and Corton-Charlemagne-like minerality rising on the finish. An exceptional Champagne.

The NV Brut Réserve, a combination of more than 60 different crus and 150 wines, evokes aromas of brioche, pastry, ripe orchard fruits, beeswax and spices. Medium to full-bodied, enrobing and charming, it has a fleshy core of fruit, a pinpoint mousse and delicate acids, making it a charming, delicate Champagne. This blend consists of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier, with 50% vins de réserve, and was disgorged with a dosage of nine grams per liter.
