The brioche and cooked-apple and cream character really comes through here. Full-bodied and round with fine bubbles. Flavorful and intense. Vivid, bread-dough finish. This is four years on lees. 55% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot.
Based on the 2016 vintage with up to 30% of reserve wines, La Cuvée Brut NV is a Chardonnay dominant cuvée comprising +50% of the blend with 30-35% Pinot Noir and 10 -15% Pinot Meunier. It aged four years on fine lees and was disgorged in 2023 and finished with a nine gram per liter dosage. Golden yellow with lively effervescence, it has showy and vibrant citrus aromas mixed with ripe quince, pomegranate, red currant and white flowers. Medium-bodied with a very fine mousse, the palate has energetic acidity, citrus and stone fruit intensity, and a chalky grip on the finish.
This elegant Champagne has a lithe, supple feel to it, with the delicate mousse carrying a fine range of nectarine, ripe green apple and white cherry fruit and accents of grated ginger, elderflower and biscuit. Long, minerally finish. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
