Limited stock. The champagne is light gold with fine bubbles. The nose initially reveals notes of violets, brioche, toast & almonds which then gain subtle tones of leather & iodine
- a characteristic of Chardonnays & signifying the mature development of this vintage. The palate demonstrates a balance of fullness & strength, dominated by fresh fruit with hints of violets & aniseed. Very elegant on its own, this Chardonnay will pair beautifully with seafood.

On the nose, the champagne is dominated by white flowers, green apple, brioche & a trace of minerality. On the palate there are notes of stone fruits, a certain nuttiness & a hint of honey supporting the freshness of the acidity. UK stock receives an additional 6 months post-disgorgement ageing so it is ready to drink upon release but cellaring for a few years will reveal greater depths. The aperitif champagne par excellence but one which has sufficient backbone to be drunk with fish & even spicy dishes. Brut Reserve is blended from 30 still base wines from different vineyards, different vintages & the three main grape varieties which dominate the champagne region: Pinot Noir contributes body, depth of character & life-extending tannins & comes from the villages of the Montagne de Reims
- Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly, Ambonnay, Mardeuil & Louvois; Chardonnay provides the lightness, elegance & finesse & is drawn from Epernay itself & the villages of the Cote des Blancs
- Cuis, Oiry, Oger, Vertus, Moussy & Chouilly; Pinot Meunier supplies youthful freshness, vigour & plump character with the grapes coming from the Vallee d' Epernay
- Vincelles, Venteuil, Troissy, Damery, Vandieres, Brugny, Chavot, Monthelon & Pierry. Grape: 33% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Meunier.

The finish reveals the wines youthfulness & suggests that it has a bright future both on its own & when paired with food.

The wine then had 15% still red Pinot Noir wine from the village of Chouilly added to the blend which was then transferred to bottle for its second fermentation & ageing in the cellars. ...
