Winemaker Description
Réserve Brut is the result of a subtle marriage of three grape varieties. It is a blend of seven distinct years, together beautifully balanced, a perfect harmony of richness, fruitiness and freshness. A genuine expression of terroir, a tribute to the excellence and singularity of each year’s harvest. Marked by honeysuckle and a hint of vanilla on the nose with an elegant foam. Plentiful in baked fruits: Mirabelle plum with a slight spice on the mid-palate that gives way to a long candied tropical-fruit and brisk mineral finish. Winemaker Description.
Expert Reviews
91 Points Decanter | A savoury style that flies the flag for elegance. Layered with delicate peach, rosemary, mushroom and white truffle notes. Blend : 43% Chardonnay, 37% Pinot Meunier, 20% Pinot Noir.
90 Points Jeb Dunnuck | Produced from 53% Meunier, 31% Chardonnay, and the rest Pinot Noir, the NV Champagne Reserve Brut is based on the 2018 vintage (63%) with 12% from 2017, 12% from 2016, 2% from 2015, and the rest from older vintages. Comprising 80% of the house’s production, it pours a youthful yellow and lifts with aromas of quince, almond, white flowers, and a flourish of smoky earth. Generous on the palate, it’s fruity and inviting, with ripe orchard fruit, a gently fluffy mousse, and a fresh, pithy finish. Its lovely custardy and floral finish is long-lasting and takes this up a notch.
90 Points Wine & Spirits | Pinot meunier (37 percent of this blend) lends a perfumed strawberry note to the brisk, chalky chardonnay (43 percent). It feels clean and cool, a lively aperitif for plump Atlantic oysters.
