67% Pinot Noir l 33% Chardonnay
Brut
Intense oak character
Unfiltered
Vanilla, almond & butter
 
This is a full-bodied Champagne with plenty of personality. Made by Champagne Yves Jacques from 2/3 Pinot Noir and 1/3 Chardonnay, it is fermented and aged in oak barrels, giving the wine a rich and intense oak character. 
 
Tasting notes
Expect pronounced vanilla and woody aromas, followed by toasted almond, butter and delicate white flowers. On the palate, it is generous, smooth and full-bodied, with the freshness keeping the richness in check.
 
This is a Champagne that makes an impression. We love it as an aperitif, but it really comes into its own alongside aged cheese, poultry, creamy sauces or smoked dishes.
 
Why we chose it
We love Champagne that shows a different side of the region, and this one is all about texture and oak. The intense barrel ageing gives it a distinctive character that you won't find in every bottle of Champagne.
 
It is also unfiltered, allowing the wine to retain more of its aromatic character. If you enjoy rich, vinous Champagne with a serious oak influence, this is one to explore.
