Comte de Cheurlin Brut NV

Tasting Notes

Comte de Cheurlin's Brut NV is an elegant, well-crafted Champagne from the Aube sub-region, made with 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. In the glass it is a brilliant pale gold with fine, persistent streams of tiny bubbles. The nose is inviting and refined — white flowers, hawthorn, linden blossom, and ripe pear are followed by subtle notes of lemon peel, green apple, and fresh brioche. On the palate it is light-bodied and lively, with a creamy mousse, precise citrus freshness, and a beautifully balanced acidity. The low dosage of just 5g/l keeps it elegant and dry. The finish is clean, refreshing, and satisfyingly long. An exceptional apéritif Champagne at an outstanding price.
