Forward lactic charm, big bubbles and a rich, somewhat indulgent charm. Lemony and floral with crisp acidity, where coconut and green fruit marry.

This is composed of 80% Pinot Noir, 15% Chardonnay and 5% Meunier and dosed at 9 grams per liter. The blend is half reserves, with 35% from the previous two harvests and 15% from the solera that Louis started in 2010. The red cherry power of top Pinot Noir jumps from the glass and is framed by classy sourdough toast. I love the texture of this lighter style Pinot based Champagne, and the very high proportion and quality of reserve wines give it great texture, a fine bead and elusive complexity. This is hard to beat at the price!

I love the elegance and pristine minerality of this Champagne! It's fresh and bright yet has fantastic depth of flavor that seems to open up this each sip: citrus, white blossom aromas along with sea shell notes create complex and multi-layered Champagne that overdelivers for it's price. It will be great accompaniment to oysters and light sea food.

One of the great new finds from our Champagne Buyer Gary Westby and we in Hollywood couldn't be happier. The Brut is so generous it just opens with pretty fruit flavors, balancing acidity, toasty notes and gorgeous accessibility. Such a pleasure to drink with food and just on its own. And for $30?!? This will not last long!!
Notes
This all estate-grown Champagne comes from all 1er Cru vineyards on the "Petite Montagne," a beautiful part of the Champagne district between Reims and Epernay that is a little bit west of the beaten path. It is composed of 70% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay and 10% Meunier. The wine benefits greatly from 50% reserve wines and has plenty of richness and toast as well as great acidity. An amazing wine for the price!
