Charles Ellner 1er Cru Brut Champagne
75% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir | Alc: 12% – Rich and Creamy
Champagne, France

Winemaker’s notes:
Charles Ellner 1er Cru Brut Champagne has a pale gold robe. Fresh on the nose with a delicate flavor of brioche, harmonious and generous. A Champagne to be served as an aperitif or a perfect pairing with fish.

Critical Acclaim:
“As its name indicates, this is a blend of premier cru wines. Holding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it is ripe with yellow fruit and apple flavors tinged attractively with touches of toastiness. This rich Champagne is ready to drink.”  93 Pts – Wine Enthusiast

“Rich with accents of smoke, honey and toast, this creamy Champagne is balanced by firm, well-knit acidity and shows a pleasing range of crème de cassis, pastry cream, grated ginger and preserved lemon flavors. Drink now through 2019. 850 cases made.”  91 Pts – Wine Spectator
