Penfolds Cuvee Brut Champagne
Rich and full with an airy feel and dry, chalky finish.
A partnership with Champagne Thiénot, this is a blend of 45% Pinot Noir, 35% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay sourced from highly regarded vineyards across the Champagne region. Pours with a buoyant mousse which slowly evaporates to reveal a pale straw coloured base that has an exceptionally fine bead streaming through it. Elevated aromas of pear and apple are interwoven with yeast lees, brioche, oily toast like notes and roasted almonds. Rich and full, the palate carries an airy feel with oily baked bread and yeast lees flavours prevalent over strawberry and apple fruits. Some roasted almond characters also chime in. Dry chalky finish with crisp acidity. Yeast lees and roast almond characters linger through the aftertaste.
