Lallier Champagne Brut Grand Reserve $48 bottle
Made from 100% Grand Cru grapes, of which 65% Pinot Noir from Aÿ and Verzenay and 35% Chardonnay from Avize and Cramant, the Brut is an intoxicating blend of 70% of the most recent vintage with 30% reserve wine, matured 24 to 36 months in our cellars.
91 Points Burghound “An expressive nose of lemon, green apple and soft baked bread nuances leads to a very rich and full-flavored mid-palate as the relatively high proportion of pinot noir is definitely evident. There is ample mousse and when coupled with the marked pinot character it combines to create a distinctive Champagne of excellent depth if not necessarily great refinement. This could easily be enjoyed now or held for another few years first.”
Lallier Champagne Brut Rosé Grand Cru $45 bottle
80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, the Lallier Rosé is grand cru juice from the areas of Aÿ, Bouzy and Avize blended to create this delightful, yet intense champagne.
92 Points Burghound “An exceptionally pretty nose offers up notes of strawberry, pear and raspberry. The supporting effervescence is soft yet voluminous and contributes to the round and seductive mouth feel of the refreshing and utterly delicious flavors. This is really very fine, indeed it possesses the most refinement of any wine in the range. In sum, this is a really lovely rosé and worth a look.” |
