Description
// 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir (8g/L dosage)
"From our Réflexions R Champagne collection, reintepreted year after year to reflect the unique character of each harvest. R.019 expresses the heart of Lallier signature style, the perfect balance of our four atmospheres: Freshness, Purity, Depth and Intensity. Sourced predominantly from the 2019 harvest, which makes up 88% of the blend. Grapes were sourced from over 50 crus within Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims,Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Bar regions, early September yielling top quality grapes with a great level of maturity. The harvest of 2019 offers intense fruity notes with a delicate sweetness. The remaining 12% is made up of reserve wines from the harvests of 2018 and 2012, each dominated respectively by intensity and fruitiness.
Light golden colour with jade reflections. Nose shows fresh citrus fruits (lemon and tangerine) supported by notes of white fruits (vine peach, green apple). A touch of brioche and light spice completes the aromatic intensity. Frank intensity on the palate, delicate fruitiness, and silky texture. The finish is long and deep with a beautiful aromatic persistence." - House Notes
"Straw, celery, dried herb aromas, the wine is lean and incisive, crisp and tangy on the tongue with bright acidity and a very dry finish and aftertaste. A touch of austerity here, tight and penetrating and would make a good food wine." - 92 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
