0 Lenoble, AR Champagne Brut Intense Condition: At $22 a bottle, readers should stock up on the non-vintage Brut Reserve. This blend of two-thirds Chardonnay and one-third Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier is a delicious, crisp, elegant, light-bodied Champagne with gorgeous finesse, an attractive, creamy texture, precise and persistent pin-point bubbles, and a dry, fresh, vibrant finish. This lively, elegant Champagne should drink beautifully as an aperitif. All three Champagnes reviewed in this segment are pure, dry, and beautifully balanced. Excellent value. RP WA90 |
