Brut Réserve

The Brut Réserve from H. Blin is a blend of 40% Pinot Meunier, 40% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay. The high share of red grape varieties gives body, while the Chardonnay brings minerality and freshness. In the glass yellow fruit dominates, the richness stays fine, and freshness keeps coming back. The result is a balanced champagne with restrained power that never feels heavy.

Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass with a medium opening, which shows off fruit and minerality in equal measure. It is a dependable aperitif and goes well with light starters. If you are looking for one bottle for many occasions, this is a brut without rough edges that fits easily into a menu.
