Champagne Lallier - Réflexion R.020 - Brut - Blanc

Wine:

How refined! The Committee's favorite, rated 93/100, the R.020 Lallier Brut Champagne boasts a chalky brightness, with delicate perfumes and smooth, fine bubbles. The sensation of biting into fresh fruit opens up a suave perspective, with a floral touch and above all, all through the tasting, a light, almost wadded-up aspect provided by the chardonnay, while the pinot noir offers density and a certain power. This is a champagne of total balance, a fine aperitif par excellence, or one to be reserved for fish or seafood.

Vinification:

Hand-harvested, from the 2020 harvest (81%) and reserve wines from 2018 and 2019 (19%), grapes from over 50 crus (Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne, Montgueux, Vallée de la Marne, Montagne de Reims, Côte des Bar), aged for 3 years. Disgorged 04/2023.

Dosage 7gr/l.

Color:

Bright light gold with fine, regular bubbles.

Nose:

Fresh with floral fragrances and hints of limestone sparkle.

Palate:

Well-balanced and delicate, this champagne with its crisp, tactile sensation reveals a light, almost suave, cottony aspect provided by the Chardonnay. Pinot, on the other hand, reveals strength and density.

An excellent aperitif, or with fish or seafood.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2025
