Charles Le Bel Inspiration 1818 Brut NV

Winemaker Notes: A gleaming testament to elegant Champagne, this expressive Brut whispers refinement and approachability. Pale golden and sparkling with vivacious, fine bubbles, its bouquet unfolds layers of brioche, almond, and ripe pear, lifted by subtle notes of butter and orchard blossom. The palate is beautifully balanced—rich yet fresh—with harmonious flavors of white-fleshed fruits, citrus zest, a touch of pepper, and a mineral undercurrent carried by the finesse of Pinot Noir. Bright acidity meets refined roundness, culminating in a lingering, refreshing finish. Crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, with a base enriched by reserve wines and extended aging, this cuvée captures the spirit of Billecart‑Salmon’s style in a charming, accessible package. Perfect as an elegant aperitif, it’s also versatile enough to accompany seafood, light poultry, or creamy cheeses—with an excellent quality-to-value balance. Points: 95 - Boutellier Wines
