Gaston Chiquet Tradition Brut Champagne 1er Cru

Notes of tart apple and tarte tatin combine in this classical Marne Valley wine. It's mostly red grapes (65 percent), bringing flavors of sour cherry and cherry pit. This is fresh, with a sculptural beauty to its texture that lends the feeling of polished stone. Score - 92. (wineandspiritsmagazine.com, Dec. 2020) 750 mL bottle
