Pierre Bertrand Brut 1er Cru NV

Almost equal parts chardy, pinot noir and pinot meunier, this impressive Champagne walks the line between fruity and mineral very well indeed. It has exuberant personality but finesse in volumes, and went down very well at our recent early Christmas party. Equally as good with salty-creamy oysters as it was with glazed Christmas ham. You could happily have this before, throughout and after any meal. For those who want awesome, premier cru grower Champagne at the price you’re only going to get mainstream slush for, get amongst this. It’s a complete no-brainer.
