There is NV Champagne and then there is this. 83% of the blend is 2013 vintage, the rest fine reserve wines from 2002, 2008 and 2010. We're talking about the very best way possible to make a non vintage, from a house who knows how to make handy fizz. Great stuff!
Since 1906, Lallier is a craft manufacture of prestigious crus de Champagne. The “Série R” is the result of a deep reflection upon one year’s harvest. A large majority of the cuvee R.013 comes from the vintage 2013, offering a large range of appealing aromas thanks to its character and generosity.
Tasting: With its golden and shiny robe, R.013 delights our eyes while its soft effervescence is mesmerizing. Subtle notes of fresh fruits, citrus fruit and honey making a large range of appealing aromas thanks to its character and generosity. They are a pleasure for the nose. The mouth is tasty with a good structure and a nice freshness in order to be balanced and appealing.
As a starter, R.013 will match perfectly with salty amuse-bouches. While dining, it will match perfectly with most of the salty dishes, with a turbot fish with a creamy sauce made with seafood, poultry with morel mushrooms, or a tasty goat cheese. In order to enhance the end of the meal, it can be offered in association with fine desserts made of white and yellow fruits.
