No.1 Reine Cuvée Reserve Méthode Traditionelle NV

Polished golden hues with lemon highlights lead to a bouquet of white fleshed orchard fruits and citrus swathed in a fresh butter brioche autolysis and extended fine lees complexity. Apple blossom, nut and honey highlights complete the bouquet. A complex wine touches the palate with a softly textured voluminous mousse and superfine bubble. Nicely weighted with a rounded satin-cream texture, core flavours of oatmeal, citrus, white fleshed orchard fruits with layers of autolysis and acidity at the core. A delicious wine with a dry lengthy finish offering perfect drinking today and through the next eight to twelve years.
