Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Nov 25
The highlight in this range, the 2014 Brut Comtesse Marie de France is super-expressive right out of the gate. The purest essence of Bouzy Pinot Noir is on display. Pear, lemon confit, tangerine oil, spice and lightly honeyed notes are beautifully delineated. Brisk acids punctuate the finale. Dosage is 6.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: February 2024.

Champagne

Champagne, exclusively from France's Champagne region, is synonymous with luxury and celebration. Made primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, it undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating its signature bubbles. Flavours range from crisp green apple and citrus to rich, toasty notes of nuts and honey. Yeast contact in the bottle contributes to pastry and brioche notes, which are a key part of good quality Champagne. Top producers include Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Krug.
