NV Marc Hébrart Champagne Premier Cru Cuvée de Réserve Brut 90 Points
France, Champagne, Champagne Premier Cru
A blend of Pinot Noir (Mareuil) and Chardonnay (Oiry, Chouilly). Complex but open nose, autolysis and toast, red apple and a hint flowers, good depth; quite powerful and weighty on the palate, rich Pinot Noir fruit, lovely balance and freshness; good length.

A blend of 50% Grenache Gris and 50% Carignan Gris, fermented and aged for 5 months in demi-muid (Carignan) and barrique (Grenache), no malo. A very interesting and quite seductive wine, floral and spicy, fresh and oaky, sea breeze and herbs, citrus, not obvious at all, good intensity and length.
