Lallier R.021 Brut is a modern and expressive Champagne that reflects both the unique character of the 2021 harvest and the timeless elegance of the Lallier house style. Part of the Réflexions R collection, the "R.021" cuvée highlights the essence of a single vintage—2021—while harmonizing it with reserve wines for added depth and complexity.
In the glass, R.021 shines with a pale golden hue and a fine, consistent effervescence. The nose reveals fresh and vibrant aromas of citrus zest, white peach, and green apple, interwoven with delicate floral notes and subtle hints of pastry and toasted almonds.
On the palate, this Champagne is lively, crisp, and precise. It offers a beautiful tension between fruitiness and minerality, with flavors of lemon, pear, and brioche. The texture is elegant and creamy, leading to a clean, persistent finish that leaves a refreshing and refined impression.
Lallier Champagne is a distinguished French winery founded in 1906, located in the heart of the Aÿ region, renowned for its exceptional Grand Cru vineyards. For over a century, Lallier has nurtured the tradition of producing top-quality champagnes that reflect the unique character of their terroir.
