The NV Brut Reserve is a bend of 65% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier and 15% Chardonnay from different villages and accounts for up to 50% of the total production. The latest disgorgement (November 2017) is based on the 2015 vintage and includes 40% of reserve wines, which age in foudres. The elegant and precise nose is deep, pure and chalky, and the palate is refined yet intense and pretty complex, especially in the quite long and expressive finish. This has very good concentration and refreshing terroir expression. This is an excellent NV Brut. Tasted April 2018.

70% pinot noir, 15% pinot meunier and 15% chardonnay; L16108): Light gold. Smoky, floral orchard fruits and redcurrant on the perfumed nose. On the palate, sappy red fruit and bitter pear skin flavors are joined by building hints of buttered toast and rose pastille. Finishes chewy and long, with lingering smokiness and a touch of bitter quinine.

Fresh and mouthwatering, this balanced Champagne offers creamy texture and a subtle mesh of salted almond, white cherry, whole grain toast and candied lemon peel flavor. Zesty finish. Disgorged summer 2019. Drink now.
