Monthuys Champagne NV Brut, 750ml

This small Champagne house floats below the radar of the publications, and I love it! The quality of this bottling surpasses many big names. This NV Brut is a blend of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay grapes sourced from the best vineyards in Champagne.

James Suckling 92 Points: “Toasty nose of walnuts, dried raspberries, pear pastries and cocoa. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a creamy mousse. Nutty and vinous with a medium finish. Dry. Drink now.”

Wine Spectator: “A streak of smoky mineral drives this sleek version, offering lively acidity and flavors of poached apple, whole-grain toast and black currant, with hints of toasted almond and lemon zest.”

Winemaker Notes: ‘ Pale yellow color presents a bouquet of apples, peaches, and pears. The mouth is well balanced, with flavors of honeyed fruit and hints of yeast. A pleasing, crisp Champagne. An ideal aperitif or celebratory drink. Enjoy with oysters or smoked salmon. Blend: 60% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir.”

Food pairing: This Champagne is an excellent aperitif and perfect for any kind of festivities. Could be served with oysters, smoked salmon and soufflés.
