Description
Champagne Yves Louvet “Sélection d’Émile” Brut NV, 375mL/half bottle.
75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay. Made purely from the domaine’s own vineyards on the Montagne de Reims. Yves Louvet is a boutique, fifth generation, family-owned Champagne house now run by Frédéric Louvet. Émile – after whom this wine is named – was Frédéric’s grandfather.
Golden and almost rose-petal tinged colour though this is not rosé at all, plush and rich Champagne nose with rock melon, peach, almond blossom, notes of caramel and toasted brioche, and almost subliminal hints of red currant and caramel, while on the palate it is soft and textural, mouth coating, with invigorating fizz, and a long and crisp dry finish that marries so magically with virtually any food or apéritif snacks, roasted nuts, etc.
