NV Louis Nicaise, Premier Cru Brut Reserve, Hautvillers, Champagne - 750ML

Louis Nicaise is a grower-producer based in Hautvillers, drawing on Premier Cru vineyards in one of Champagne’s most historic villages. The Brut Réserve combines the freshness and mineral lift of Chardonnay with the breadth of Pinot Noir and the supple fruit of Pinot Meunier, delivering a refined, highly versatile house style.

Blend: 40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir.
Tasting Notes: Bright and expressive, with white apple, citrus zest, ripe orchard fruit and delicate floral notes layered with brioche, dried fruit and a subtle touch of honey. Fine bubbles carry a creamy mid-palate before a fresh, lemon-toned finish restores precision and energy.
Structure: Fresh, balanced and elegant, with fine mousse, polished texture and lively acidity.
Drink Window: Drink now through 2030 for its balance of youthful freshness and developing autolytic complexity.

Decanting: No decanting required. Serve well chilled at approximately 45–50°F and allow a few minutes in the glass to reveal its brioche, orchard-fruit and floral nuances.

An excellent choice for aperitif service, seafood, shellfish or lighter celebratory dining, this is a Champagne with enough refinement for a special occasion yet enough ease and freshness to open whenever the moment calls for something distinctive. Its combination of Premier Cru provenance, grower character and classical balance also makes it an appealing bottle to keep on hand for gifting or short-term cellaring.
