Champagne always turns up when there’s a celebration. But, with Christmas and the New Year on the horizon, you may ask which one? I usually have a bottle of Beaumont Des Crayère NV, Grande Réserve Brut, on hand.
This Réserve from a quality-focused cooperative in Champagne's Marne Valley is an absolute star. Made with 75% black grape varieties with extended lees ageing, it’s a richer style of Champagne with fine, persistent bubbles and really holds its own against much more expensive sparklers. An expressively fruity aroma profile with a balanced palate it is lively before a long, slightly spiced finish. Most of you will know that Brut means dry.
