L Aubry et Fils Aubry Brut, Champagne, France

Description

Wine Advocate 89

Disgorged in October 2018, the latest release of the NV Brut Premier Cru is showing well, exhibiting aromas of citrus oil, dried white flowers and warm bread. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, chalky and precise, with racy acids, a pretty core of fruit and a nicely balanced finish.

Winery Notes

Aubry makes a great case for Champagne’s historic varieties, which include little-known Petit Meslier, Arbanne, and Fromenteau. These grapes make up just five percent of the classic blend of Pinots Meunier and Noir with Chardonnay. This elegant wine is copper-laden and snappy with mineraled classic depth, light floral honey aromas, and dark notes of crackers, toasted bread, and pepper.
