1818 Brut Champagne NV
NV Charles Le Bel “1818” Champagne
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 92 Points
This well-priced bubbly packs-in plenty of character and some fine style, and it offers aromatic suggestions of yellow peach, Meyer lemon, honey, toasted almond and background minerality. It is cutting dry yet supple and genteel on the palate, where the pear-almond flavors become prominent and linger through a fresh yet surprisingly well-evolved finish. This versatile and food-worthy bottling is a new project of the famous Biellecart Salmon Champagne house.
