Peter Liem:
The non-vintage Brut Réserve is composed of 50 to 60 percent chardonnay, depending on the year, with about 15 percent of pinot noir and the rest meunier. It contains an unusually high proportion of reserve wines, generally around 50 percent, and these come from the previous two or three vintages.

Tasting: This is a rich, boldly-flavored wine that often emphasizes its red-fruit flavors, despite its high chardonnay content, and its body and depth make it a good champagne for the table. Round and fragrant, showing full-bodied flavors of red cherry, raspberry, apple and pear. While it’s creamy in texture, it’s supported by lively acidity that makes it feel kinetic and fresh, and it finishes with plenty of depth and length.
