Large Reserve

For Lallier, the Grande Réserve is the embodiment of the quality ambition with which the house set out in 1906. It combines Chardonnay from Avize (35%) with Pinot Noir from the Grands Crus of Verzenay (65%). All the grapes come from Grand Cru sites, and before dégorgement the champagne ages for 36 months on the lees.

In the glass it shows a very pale golden yellow with green reflections. On the palate it is round and powerful, with aromas of buttered brioche and yellow fruit such as apricot. The perlage is fine, the texture creamy, and the freshness keeps everything in balance. It is best with fish and shellfish, but it is also a versatile champagne for the table. Drink it at 9 to 10 °C in a white wine glass with a little volume.
