A Brut Champagne from Jean-Paul Deville in Verzy, blending Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from chalk and clay-limestone soils with a minimum 3 years in bottle — a traditionally made, food-friendly grower Champagne of real balance and freshness.
Tasting Notes
Good intensity on the nose with stewed fruit, pear, biscuits, and limestone character that opens with aeration into melted butter and mushrooms. The first impression in the mouth is dynamic, with good vivacity and a tonic effervescence. Well balanced finish with good freshness. A Champagne that earns its Brut designation without artifice.
