2006 La Pelle; Cuvée Des Sires Grand Cru Aŷ, Extra Brut: Champagne Roger Brun
wood, spice, liquorice, lemons, limes, a touch of cedar, herbs, apples, yeast and chalk. Mineral, poised and elegant. Fairly powerful and rich, with good complexity, with air one finds more smoke, wood, wild strawberries, cooked lemons, brioche and almond paste, and some very nice length. This is seriously high quality fizz. 17.5+/20
Bummer, can’t find it in the US - apparently not imported.
I’ll look the next time I’m in the UK or France
Thanks for the note!
I bought this at C.Comme in Epernay, so you will need to head to Champagne, as I have not heard of anything above entry level Roger Brun being available in the Uk.
Entry level is great for the money and I know who has them but…
Thanks Jonathan - perhaps in the fall . . .
