THE RÉFLEXION R.021
From our Réflexion Champagne collection, the new R.021 Multi-Vintage Brut captures the purest nature of Champagne terroir individuality and interprets this year through a renewed expression. Réflexion is the heart of Lallier style, the perfect balance of Lallier signature atmospheres: Purity, Freshness, Intensity and Depth.
THE ORIGINS
Sourced predominantly from the 2021 harvest, which makes up 70% of the blend. Pinot Noir dominates the blend at 49% this year. Grapes were sourced from several crus within Montagne de Reims, Aÿ and Côte des Bar for Pinot Noir. Côte des Blancs, Montgueux and Côtes de Sézanne for Chardonnay. Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne for Meunier.
THE BLEND
The harvest of 2021, which makes up 70% of Réflexion R.021 offers intense citrus aromas completed by elegant floral notes, testimony to the elegance of the 2021 wines. More mature notes such as brioche or fresh hazelnut complement the bouquet. They come from 2020 reserves wines (30%) , patiently aged on fine lees, and from the aging in our cellars.
Lallier R.021 is a versatile champagne that can be enjoyed on its own, as an aperitif or to accompany a meal.
