NV Le Chemin du Roi Brut – 60% chardonnay, 20% pinot noir and 20% pinot meunier. Contemporary notes of apple and toasty shortbread prepared the ground on an interesting wine, which strikes slowly into notes of almonds and a extra tart inexperienced apple character.

NV Le Chemin du Roi Brut Rose – 45% pinot meunier, 40% chardonnay, 15% pinot noir (a few of which is made as a purple wine). This mix is a bit much less partaking than the Brut, the pinot meunier giving it a slightly doughy texture on the palate. The notes of contemporary apple discovered within the Brut are paired right here with some lemon curd components, with extra of that almond character rising because the wine comes out of its shell. Whereas much less acidic than the Brut by fairly a bit, this does give the wine a creamier and considerably extra opulent consistency, although this comes on the expense of a few of its brightness — and double the value.
