NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
In the glass, Goutorbe Bouillot's Reflets de Rivière Brut Champagne sparkles with a vibrant straw color and a lively effervescence that promises celebration.The bouquet offers an alluring dance of fresh apple, pear, and white peach, embraced by subtle hints of brioche and almond from its aging on the lees. On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing, with a creamy mousse that carries flavors of citrus zest and quince, intertwined with a flinty minerality. The finish is long and clean, with a zesty acidity that begs for another sip. This Champagne is a versatile partner to food, capable of elevating both delicate seafood dishes and richer fare with its balance and brightness.
