Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Nov 25
The 2020 Blanc de Noirs Les Ursules is classy, elegant and supremely polished. Sweet floral and spice notes open first, followed by a burst of red-toned Pinot fruit. Rose petal, cinnamon, dried cherry, mint and orange peel develop, filling out the layers in style. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off of this. No dosage. Disgorged: April 2024.
Drinking Date: 2025 - 2034

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.
