Allouchery Perseval Champagne 1er Cru La Reserve Brut (1x75cl)

Allouchery Perseval, a distinguished grower-producer, meticulously crafts this Premier Cru Champagne from select vineyard parcels within the esteemed Champagne region. The 'La Reserve' cuvée is a testament to their commitment to expressing terroir and house style, incorporating a significant proportion of reserve wines. This strategic blending imparts remarkable complexity, depth, and a consistent vinous character that transcends vintages.

The Brut expression undergoes extended lees ageing, a deliberate choice to enhance textural richness and aromatic evolution. This traditional method, combined with the inherent quality of 1er Cru fruit, results in a Champagne that balances vibrant freshness with profound structure. It offers a scholarly interpretation of its origins, reflecting the nuanced chalky soils and cool climate viticulture characteristic of its Premier Cru status.

Tasting notes

On the eye, a brilliant golden hue with a persistent, fine mousse. The nose reveals an intricate bouquet of ripe orchard fruits—green apple, conference pear—intertwined with brioche, toasted almond, and a subtle chalky minerality indicative of its terroir. The palate is precise and vibrant, offering a harmonious balance of crisp acidity and creamy texture. Flavours of citrus zest, white peach, and a delicate autolytic complexity lead to a long, elegant finish marked by a saline freshness and a lingering hint of hazelnut.
