- Albert Bichot Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Reserve is a 60% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, at 15% ABV. With fine, even bubbles, the nose boasts notes of citrus such as lime, pink grapefruit and white blossoms which pave the way for vivacity and freshness on the palate. Clean and precise with beautiful length.
-
- Paula Kornell Brut, 80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, at 12% ABV offers elegance, refinement and freshness. Its racy acidity makes the wine lively and refreshing, while the small amount of residual sugar gives the wine weight and depth alongside the aromas of lemon pith, fresh peaches, just-ripe apricots, toast, acacia and honeysuckle.
