No.1 Family Estate

Reine Cuvee Reserve

No.1 Reine Cuvee is a tribute to the family's Mother and Memere, Reine Vautrelle Le Brun. This classic Methode Traditionelle blend of Chardonnay Pinot Noir and Meunier has had long term lees ageing and minimal dosage to create a seamless and sophisticated Extra Brut Reserve NV. The bouquet is rich and complex with delicious buttery shortbread and brioche autolysis and delightful hints of ripe apricot. The extended lees ageing has created a charming methode that is full and rich but retains finesse. Champagne-like characters of brioche and buttered toast are entwined with baked peach and ripe apricot. The pallet is broad with beautifully balanced acidity creating a seamless and elegant methode that is crisp, yet lingers on the taste buds.
