R. Renaudin N.V. Brut Reserve
Our debut “vintage” of this cuvée 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, which is blended with 30% of older reserve wines. 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.

Other Wine Facts | The specificity and the quality of our champagne begins from a qualitative approach in the vinyards. It is the terroir that epresses the specificity and the particularity by combining different elements like climate, eposition, 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. |

Notes from the Producer: Without malolactic fermentation to preserve theperfect balance between freshness and vinosity.
Tasting Notes:
On the eye: With intense yellow and golden reflects, the dress expresses all the characteristics of this great wine and invites you to share it.
On the Nose:
The first nose reveals a complex but accessible personality. A surprising maturity combined to an impertinent freshness are both making a tandem of excellence.
In mouth: In coherence with the versatility of the nose, enjoy the two-stages offered by «Réserve» : the first one is mature, round and evolved as the second one is fresh, sparkling and full of joy.
