Louis Morette — Grand Réserve Brut

Grand Réserve Brut

Louis Morette | Brut

The Louis Morette Grand Reserve Brut is a supermarket find (17.99 euros at Hofer) with no big expectations – and a positive surprise.

Freshness, clarity, structure – not a lot of depth, but a very balanced all-rounder with a clean finish. 90 points from Eichelmann – and that's no small feat. On his scale that means: excellent. For a champagne under 20 euros, that's more than decent.

Assemblage of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay. Dosage: about 8-9 g/l (Brut). Served at about 8-9 degrees. Style: fresh, balanced, slightly creamy.

Sometimes between the top cuvées there are exactly these kinds of bottles – approachable, well-made, and simply there when you need them. And that's exactly why they often end up in the cellar closer to reality than the big names.

Tasting Notes

Fresh, clear champagne with good structure and clean finish. Not a lot of depth, but a very balanced all-rounder with a slightly creamy texture.
