Le Mont de Reuil 2016 2016

Robert Allait | Millésimé | Vintage 2016

The Le Mont de Reuil 2016 from Robert Allait is a versatile champagne that shines both with a charcuterie board and with sushi.

Especially with salmon, this 100% Meunier really comes alive – juicy, citrusy, powerful. The freshness complements the creamy fish extremely well, and even wasabi & soy sauce cannot throw this champagne off balance. That's not at all a given!
