Champagne Brut Régence N/V
80% of the blend is Chardonnay from the south of Côte des Blancs, which is supposed to yield more floral wines cf the 'mineral' style of Chardonnay from the north, as is to be found in Brimoncourt's Blanc de Blancs. This is the signature blend of this ambitious, well-backed new house.
Tiny bead. Very light nose. Flirtatious texture and not a tace of astringency nor excess acidity. Brisk and appetising. Easy to like with real lift.Jancis Robinson, June 2016
