Albert Bichot, Blanc Brut Réserve, Crémant de Bourgogne, Burgundy, France NV

A well-respected name in Burgundy, Albert Bichot has performed very well at the Decanter World Wine Awards over the years. The house was founded in 1831 and is now in its sixth generation of family ownership. Farmed organically, this blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay saw a portion of the base wine aged in oak, and 15% reserve wines included to add complexity. Citrussy and elegant, it's fresh and fairly restrained, with white blossom fragrance. Purity and precision. Dosage: 7g/L.
