Leclerc-Briant Brut Réserve NV Review

A house regaining its former prominence with biodynamic winemaking, this golden colored, non-vintage blend matches tart red fruit with toasty brioche on the nose. The plate has plenty of texture, with yellow apple, lemon juice, toasted almonds, and ginger. While generally a pleaser, there’s a slight structural disconnect on the palate, but that shouldn’t dissuade drinkers from buying it.
