183 Champagne AC NV Brut Reflet d’Antan
Bérèche & FilsGrape:33% Chardonnay, 34% Pinot Noir, 33% Pinot Meunier (12% alc.)
This is a very specialist champagne designed to show how complex reserve wines can become with age. Fermented in cuve, the wines for Reflet are selected in May following vintage, kept in cuve for another year, then introduced into a solera system (500 and 600ltr barrels) that was started in 1985. Once a year they bottle off two thirds leaving the balance to blend with the next wines into the solera. There is a crossover with wine from Jura here, the champagne offers incredible complexity, dried fruits, almonds, honey, minerality. Dosage 6g/l. Very limited quantity. For drinking now to 2014.
