Champagne Thierry Triolet Grande Reserve Brut

The Champagne house of Thierry Triolet is located in the village of Bethon. Traditionally, the Sezanne vineyards have been a source of excellent Chardonnay grapes for the large negociant Champagne houses to the north.The Triolets are one of a growing number of families who have begun estate bottling their champagne over the last three decades. They own 11 hectares in and around the village of Bethon and almost all their vineyards are planted to Chardonnay.  The Grande Reserve is made exclusively from Chardonnay and is a blend of vintages which includes at least 30% of reserve wines. The champagne stays an average of 3 years “sur lie” before disgorgement. Rich and concentrated yet dry and zesty, this shows loads of ripe citrus, spiced apple, honeysuckle, and chalky mineral.
