Ro16 Brut

The R016 belongs to a series from Lallier, each release reflecting a single harvest year. The cuvée is made up of 61% Pinot Noir and 39% Chardonnay from the slopes of the Montagne de Reims, in the Grand Cru sites of Bouzy and Ambonnay. 86% comes from 2016, 14% from reserve wines of 2010, 2012 and 2014.

The nose is complex, with vineyard peach, ripe pear and hazelnut. On the palate it is full-bodied and sunny, carried by mineral tension. In the long finish, mirabelle plum and milk caramel emerge. At table it suits snails in cream, fish tartare or roast suckling pig, and for dessert an apricot tart. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a white wine glass.
