    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Gorgeous fruit, apple and stone fruit notes, but also something floral and a touch of hay. Crisp complexity, fine spice, grapefruit pith, and toasted orange peel. Smoke and flint notes appearing on the finish. Really lovely, such a lot of character, depth but also freshness. A cuvee that sees 15-27 months sur lie and full malolactic fermentation. 65% Meunier, 15% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay. Full Malolactic conversion. 41% Reserve wine. This release saw a dosage of 5g, though this can swing between 4.5g and 6 depending on the disgorgement.

    Critic Reviews

    Sarah Mayo,
    The Wine Independent
    Based on the 2020 vintage, the Grand Réserve Brut NV is predominantly Pinot Meunier with a small amount of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the blend along with 39% of perpetual reserve wine that started in 1998. Fragrant and alluring aromas of pear tart, golden apple sauce, baking spice, pecans and sweet floral notes flow into a very focused, medium to full-bodied and textured palate centered on wonderfully ripe fruit and vivacious acid tension. It finishes with excellent length and freshness. Disgorged September 2022 and finished with a five gram per liter dosage. 40415 bottles and 2602 magnums were produced.
