NV | Leclerc-Briant Réserve Brut | Champagne Morellino leaving a pleasantly bitter twangPouring 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
