Brut Intense in

The Brut Intense from AR Lenoble comes here in magnum. The cuvée brings together 45% Pinot Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir from premier cru sites and 25% Chardonnay from grand cru sites. A further 30% is reserve wine, and 25% of the wines are aged in wood. This gives the Brut depth and layers without masking the fruit. The mousse is lively and light.

In the glass it is a fruit-forward, approachable champagne. It works as an aperitif and also accompanies a whole meal, such as tuna sashimi, tapas or antipasti. Serve it at 9 to 10 °C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass, which keeps aromas and bubbles nicely together. The champagne can still be cellared for three to four years. The large format makes it the right companion for a bigger gathering.
