The quality of this signature wine rests upon s skill to select the region s finest grapes, using mostly their own vineyards which gives greater control and consistent quality. It is the introduction to the house style, light, elegant and beautifully balanced. Vineyards The grapes for the Brut Reserve come from prime vineyards throughout Champagne, with approximately 50% coming from the Estate. It is a carefully balanced blend of wines from more than 35 crus . Vinification Produced each year from 95% first pressings of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay this is the definitive cuvee of Champagne . It also includes a proportion of reserve wine to ensure consistency from year to year. Prior to release the Brut Reserve is aged for 3-4 years giving the wine depth whilst allowing the component parts to become fully integrated. Tasting Notes The Brut Reserve is renowned for its golden yellow colour with a consistent, fine, lingering mousse. The nose is light and delicate with hints of fruits and brioche. The palate is lean, but has considerable depth and elegance with a long fresh finish. There is no specific drinking occasion for the Brut Reserve. Its elegance and lightness give it the flexibility to be the Champagne for the moment but it is always an excellent aperitif.
