NV Domaine Jean Vesselle Brut Reserve Champagne

"The most open-knit and easygoing, the NV Champagne Reserve Brut is 80% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay and has 11 grams per liter dosage. Pale straw with a golden hue. the nose is rounder here, with ripe raspberry, golden apricot, and tangerine. The palate is dry, although it has roundness from the dosage which lends more ripe orchard fruits, plum, and pink grapefruit citrus through the finish. Drink over the next 10-15 years."

"Disgorged in March 2021, the latest rendition of Vesselle's NV Brut Réserve is showing nicely, offering up aromas of pear, honeycomb, freshly baked bread and warm biscuits. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly fleshy and precise, its nicely concentrated core of fruit is girdled by bright acids and complemented by a pinpoint mousse. Best after 2021." - William Kelley Review Date: January 2022
