Champagne Brigitte Delmotte Réserve (half bottle) NV

Over 170 years of experience have gone into the making of this ripe tangerine and toasted brioche Champagne. It's the work of 5th-generation winemaker Julian Fourrier, whose father, Philippe, created this special cuvée in honour of his wife, Brigitte. Her maiden name was Delmotte. The grapes are a classic blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay taken from vineyards first planted by Philippe and Brigitte. All the family's 18 hectares of vines lie within Champagne's little known Côte des Bar, described by Wine Folly as "the hottest Champagne region right now". Made traditionally, this fine fizz was aged four years on its lees to enhance its rich toasty flavour. Presented in a handy half bottle - perfect as a celebratory bottle for two!
