Grand Cru Brut Nv

Region: 
Grape Variety: 
100% Chardonnay
Tasting Note: 
The marker of quality was apparent in the medium golden color of Albert Lebrun. It was the first indicator of high-quality ripe fruit that went into it. On the contrary, entry-level Champagnes are quite pale in color, and it’s expected. We sensed the aromas of baked apple and peach, fresh-baked baguette and toast, and classic Champagne chalky minerality. The mousse had a fine bubble with a creamy sensation. On the palate, it all came together: a pie crust with baked apple, lemon, orange, and lemon rind. The aftertaste was like a slice of buttered baguette toast with homemade apple butter.
