- TASTING NOTE: "The power of the 2020 vintage is present here with some firm, structured Pinot Noir from Aÿ, but Dominique Demarville's decision to lead with plenty of Chardonnay lends his first blend for Lallier a delicate, zesty side too, detailed with a tiny touch of barrel complexity behind pear tart, apricot kernel and sweet raspberry fragrance. There's plenty to chew on in the fruit of the base vintage, yet the style remains focused on clarity and purity – refreshment, rather than weight, is the goal. 51% Chardonnay and 49% Pinot Noir, based on the 2020 harvest with 19% reserve wines from the previous two years and 5% oak fermentation. (Drink between 2024-2027)" 90 Points - Tom Hewson, Decanter
- ABOUT THE WINE: The grapes for this wine are sourced from the four main regions in the Aÿ and Epernay sector: Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, Côte des Bars and Côte de Sézanne. The assemblage consists of 51% Chardonnay and 49% Pinot Noir, based on the 2020 harvest with 19% reserve wines from the previous two years. About 5% is fermented in oak.
