Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Stephan Reinhardt
Based on the 2020 vintage, complemented by 39% reserve wines, and disgorged in September 2022 with five grams per liter dosage, the NV Brut Grande Réserve bursts with aromas of pear, apple, honeycomb, toasted nuts, freshly baked bread and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's charming and sensual, with a generous core of fruit and an expansive finish.
