Patricius Pezsgo Methode Traditionnelle Brut, Tokaj, Hungary 2020

Patricius Pezsgő Méthode Traditionnelle Brut from Tokaj is a beautifully precise expression of Hungary’s native grapes through a classic sparkling lens. Made using the traditional Champagne method, this wine shows a fine, persistent mousse and bright, focused energy from start to finish. The palate leans into crisp green apple, pear, and citrus zest, with Tokaj’s signature Furmint bringing a razor-sharp acidity that keeps everything lifted and dry. Subtle notes of fresh bread and light brioche hint at time spent on the lees, adding texture without weighing the wine down. It’s clean, elegant, and refreshing, offering a distinctly Hungarian take on traditional-method sparkling wine that works just as well as an aperitif as it does alongside oysters, seafood, or light appetizers.
