The 2022 Reserve Méthode Champenoise dazzles with its brilliant pale gold hue and a fine, persistent stream of bubbles. Its aroma is elegant and complex, offering notes of toasted brioche, almond, ripe pear, and citrus zest, with subtle floral and honeyed undertones adding depth. On the palate, a silky mousse and vibrant acidity reveal flavors of green apple, Meyer lemon, and stone fruit, balanced by a delicate minerality. The creamy texture evolves into a long, refined finish with hints of hazelnut and yeast, showcasing the wine’s sophistication and finesse.
