Brut R.021 étui Iconique

Champagne Lallier
Crafted in Aÿ, this cuvée comes from a house that has been shaping Grand Cru fruit since 1906. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from chalky Champagne slopes are blended with a generous share of reserve wines, then given long ageing on lees in the cellars to build depth and finesse. Expect a fine, persistent mousse, aromas of white peach, citrus zest and brioche, with a chalky freshness that keeps everything bright right to the finish. Presented in a smart gift box, it's an easy win for celebrations, aperitifs or gifting. Serve chilled, and pour it alongside oysters, sushi or simply on its own.
