Louis Delaunay Brut Champagne 2021

Louis Delaunay Brut Champagne is praised for its vibrant citrus and green apple notes, balanced by a crisp, zesty finish. While some appreciate its affordability and refreshing qualities, others find it lacking in complexity and depth. The wine's fruit-forward profile, with hints of peach and pear, appeals to many, though some feel it falls short of premium expectations. Overall, it's a solid choice for casual occasions.

This Champagne greets with a pale straw hue, effervescent with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is an elegant interplay of crisp green apple, freshly baked brioche, and a delicate hint of white florals, underscored by a subtle minerality. On the palate, it reveals a taut structure, with vibrant acidity harmonizing beautifully with flavors of lemon zest and almond. The mid-palate is creamy yet precise, leading to a long, refreshing finish marked by a whisper of chalky finesse. A quintessential expression of Brut Champagne, it exemplifies the region’s hallmark balance and finesse, suitable for both aperitif and gastronomic pairings.
