Occasional wine note

Love the counter points this wine gives you - fresh, crisp and lively, while also expressing an elegance you should find in older wines. This has to come from the Solera. You get 'em both here. The wine is a bit drier than the "Brut" would suggest, but love the fruit and mineral notes on the nose and palate. This is ready to drink.

What experts say about this wine

100

Wine Advocate

The NV Brut is made of 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay (both 2011) and 20% Reserve (from a Soléra started in 2009). Its refined aromas of bright fruits migrate to a very light and delicate first palate. This champagne is dry (dosage: seven grams per liter) and firmly structured, but really fine and elegant, and provided with a good length and subtle mineral flavors.

Wine Enthusiast

This almost dry Champagne is balanced and tightly crisp. It comes from a solera that is renewed annually, giving a touch of maturity while also retaining freshness. The wine has a lively mousse and lemon aftertaste, ready to drink now.
