Bernard Gaucher - Champagne - Brut

This bottle of "Grower Champagne" is made up of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay. The wine itself was fermented in old oak barrels with weekly batonnage and allowed to partially go through malolactic conversion before being aged on its lees for 24 months in bottle.  The nose shows a cream, rustic cracker, green apple, light citrus, and mirabelle plum. The palate is focused and light with candied apples, cream, and yellow plum. Pair with poultry or cheese gougères.
