R. Renaudin N.V. Brut Reserve
Our debut “vintage” of this cuvee was 2008, which was a hard act to follow. But Renaudin rose to the occasion and harnessed all that was possible from the seductive 2009 vintage. Still fresh from its extended period en tirage, the mousse is noticeably fine. The nose is markedly expressive, while the palate is broad yet taut. This will be another long-distance runner.

Notes from the Producer: The specificity and the quality of our champagne begins from a qualitative approach in the vinyards. It is the terroir that expresses the specificity and the particularity by combining different elements like climate, exposition, geographical localisation and human factors. The vineyard is managed by combining the qualitative work of the soil and permanent grassing. We apply the plant protection products for the protection of the vines at low dose, only if it is necessary with a reasoned approach and sustainable approach.
