Lebeau-Batiste, Champagne Brut “Tradition”, Champagne, France NV
{organic} 60% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir
AN ELEGANT CLASSIC. FINE, SILKY MOUSSE, CRUSTY BREAD AROMAS & MOUTHWATERING JUICINESS
Farmed by this family since the 14th century is a vineyard just south of Eperney that is now organic. This tiny, 800 case production from Eric Lebeau and Anne-Marie Batiste is aged for more than 30 months and uses 1/5 reserve wine. That means the bubbles are persistent and tiny, and the lees aromas are both nutty and bread-y. They is an excellent grower Champagne from an estate that will soon be renowned for their exceptional quality and integrity!
Serving Suggestion: Smoked salmon with capers and white wine/brown butter sauce. Baked brie topped with onion jam on grilled bread.
