Champagne Charlie 2017 is a non-vintage brut white blend Champagne produced with 48% pinot noir and 52% chardonnay. It was assembled with 80% reserve wines and 20% wines from 2016 and was cellared in 2017.
Nose: Notes of grapefruit, roasted pineapple are enlivened with the vivacity of toasted and mineral notes. After several seconds, aromas of fresh fruits (apricots, vineyard peaches) briefly appear to give way to persistent notes of pastry.
Palate: The texture is truly the soul of Charlie, where we find that paradox of juvenile freshness and fleshiness, with a silkiness befitting a more mature wine. This 'dry fleshiness' is enhanced with a highly nuanced effervescence, composed of extremely harmonious bubbles. The finish reveals candied citrus and exotic passionfruit notes.
