Louis Barthelemy Brut Champagne NV France $32.50 btl – Delicious and appropriate wine for a Leo
30% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier. The most fierce of the Fire Signs, Leo is also the charmer, Leo is the life of the party - you are huggable, delicious and the fearless master of all things warm and fuzzy and fun. Jerry, Chris and James are all Leos, so we are a bit partial here, but nothing says a Leo has entered a room like the POP of a champagne cork…..let the party begin. Leo-love knows no bounds.
Louis Barthelemy is a small family run Champagne House which was established in 1925. In blind tastings, this exuberant bottle of bubbles tops all contenders in the non-vintage brut category. 4 years ‘en triage” results in a creamy, showy, biscuit-bread dough quality that is sublime. The latest bottling of Brut is fresh, yet rich and warm on the palate while providing a fine persistent mousse. The flavors are round with seductive fruit, a touch of brioche and finishes with a note of citrus peel. 12% alcohol.
