Brut Tradition, Champagne Michel Guilleminot (half bottle)
Michel Guilleminot's brut enjoys an enviable reputation for sheer value for money and consistency. "Récoltant-Manipulant" on the label means the wine has been produced from 100% of the estate own grapes and bottled by the estate. Made 100% from Pinot Noir grapes, giving a fruit-led, yet elegant aperitif-style bubbles. Look for fresh, fragrant fruit on the nose; crunchy berry fruit flavours combining with a classic biscuity note and a gentle mousse; and an appetizing, pure, vibrant accent.
The perfect aperitif. Sushi, pan-fried or grilled fish and of course at home with a wide range of canapés.
This blanc de noirs is well made and delicious. A half bottle from the fridge is an excellent sharpener. Maybe a 50cl or Churchillian pint would be a good idea? It’s the right size for 2 people.
I ordered this by mistake thinking they were full (70cl) bottles - hey ho but nice stuff and much superior to Prosecco.
my favourite champagne, perfect size for a cheeky glass!
