JEAN VESSELLE BRUT RESERVE 375ML

Winemaker Notes A magnificent, elegantly structured Champagne that exudes flavors of peach, crisp apple, and toast. A finely balanced, fresh Champagne that spends 30 months on lees. This 80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay blend (from 30+-year-old vines) drinks like a vintage wine. Honeysuckle blossoms tickle the aromatic nose. Toasty, lovely notes of warm, crusty oatmeal biscuits drizzled with molasses and sweet, red fruits characterize the bountiful, layered mouth. Critical Acclaim W&S94Wine & Spirits Pinot noir from Bouzy’s chalky soil- provides 80 percent of this blend; the balance is chardonnay. What sets this wine apart is its freshness, its stamina and its texture that feels like the polished curves of a marble statue. Those qualities reflect the pale stoniness of the acidity, the white-flower scent and the floral note of fresh cream. WW92Wilfred Wong of Wine.com COMMENTARY: The Jean Vesselle Brut Reserve is bright, fruity, a charming. TASTING NOTES: This wine delivers aromas and flavors of ripe apples and lively citrus, and light chalkiness. Enjoy it with well-ripened cow's milk cheeses. (Tasted: May 9, 2022, San Francisco, CA) RP90Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Disgorged in March 2021, the latest rendition of Vesselle's NV Brut Réserve is showing nicely, offering up aromas of pear, honeycomb, freshly baked bread and warm biscuits. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly fleshy and precise, its nicely concentrated core of fruit is girdled by bright acids and complemented by a pinpoint mousse.
