Grande Réserve 2019
Champagne Bruyen | Extra Brut | Vintage 2019
A perfect champagne for business meetings on the terrace. When the vibes are right and you're on the same wavelength, a champagne can definitely be opened. The "Grande Réserve" from Bruyen is ideal for this.
In business settings, not every partner is immediately a total champagne nerd. You need a wine that's a real "crowd-pleaser" – but on a high level! It can't come across as banal or boring, but at the same time it needs to be approachable and tasty without having to give a 15-minute lecture about terroir first.
The Chardonnay shows itself first: citrus, especially lime and quince, a bright, taut aroma with a fine mineral line. There's also a calm, creamy note from the MALO that gives the wine something soft.
On the palate it's lively and fresh, with that clear citrus tension. The Pinot Noir appears more in the second moment – darker berries, a hint of blueberry, a bit of roundness in the finish.
You can tell it's had five years of aging: it's structured, but light. Complex, but uncomplicated to drink.
Tasting Notes
A straightforward, fresh champagne with clear citrus tension from lime and quince, complemented by creamy notes from malolactic fermentation. The Pinot Noir brings darker berries and roundness in the finish, overall structured but easy to drink.
