The Charles Pelletier Grande Reserve Blanc de Blanc is a delicate pale straw colour with a light toasty scent and hints of citrus and red apple. It's crisp and dry with fine beads and balanced acidity - a definite crowd pleaser.
"A delightful blanc de blancs, this is beautifully fragrant on the nose showing lemon zest, white peach and floral with elegant yeast complexity. The palate is focused and finely textured with flowing mouthfeel, finishing long and delicately crisp. A wonderful alternative to Champagne offering excellent value." – 91 Points, Sam Kim (Wine Orbit)
“Like this one, with its floral high notes and lively lifted fruit on the palate. Long pleasing finish. There is a degree of complex sophistication in this one and the price is a ripper." – 91 Points, Ray Jordan West Australian - Ray Jordan “Top 100 Sparkling”
"Bright pale straw-yellow colour with slight golden hues, the bead persistent and moderately fine. This has a light, fresh bouquet with delicate aromas of white and yellow stonefruits alongside citrus and floral elements, unfolding subtle nuances of yeast, nuts and minerals. Dryish to taste and medium-bodied, a rounded core of yellow stonefruits interwoven with nuances of yeast and smoke is the feature on palate. The mousse is soft and the mouthfeel is guided by gentle phenolic textures and discreet acidity that lends balance and dryness. The wine carries through to a slightly textured, dry finish with yeast and nutty notes. This is a soft, gentle Methode Traditionnelle with delicate fruit and nutty, yeasty notes. Serve as an any-occasion sparkling over the next 18 months to 2 years. Based on Chardonnay, fermented by the traditional method." – 16.5/20, Raymond Chan
