Description
The NV (2020) Brut Tradition is terrific. Bright and sculpted, the 2020-base Brut Tradition is a terrific entry-level offering and a fine value. Crushed rocks, mint, white pepper, slate and chalk all sizzle with tension before light tropical overtones make an appearance. The 80% Pinot/20% Chardonnay blend works so well for this bottling. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Disgorged: September 2025; multiple disgorgements throughout the year.

Champagne Blend
The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn’t unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as ‘blanc de blanc’, meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or ‘blanc de noir’, which is made solely with Pinot Noir.
