NV | Leclerc-Briant Réserve Brut | Champagne Morellino then the medium-bodied wine’s orange

then the medium-bodied wine’s orange marmalade and ginger flavors win you over for good

This red wine is an embrace of intensity and nuance

leaving a pleasantly bitter twang and saline minerals to linger on

In this vintage

possibly the two greatest sources of Pinot in all of Champagne

NV | Leclerc-Briant Réserve Brut | Champagne Morellino then the medium-bodied wine’s orangePouring a bright pale yellow hue, the NV Champagne Reserve Brut is from 2019, with 40% each Pinot Noir and Meunier and 20% Chardonnay. It opens to reveal notes of wet asphalt, ripe white peach, and fresh redcurrant. Medium bodied and approachable, it has a rounded mid palate, a chalky and pithy texture with a lively yet fine mousse, and a light note of brled grapefruit rind on the finish. Its an attractive and balanced wine with a clean finish. 92 Pts
