Note di degustazione
Coming from Grand Cru sites in Cramant, Avize, Oger, and Mesnil, the NV Champagne Cuvée des Chevaliers Brut Nature spent 4 years on the lees and has a base of 2017 (60%) and the rest reserve. It’s fresh with dusty earth, a light smokiness, and white flowers, and the palate is medium-bodied, with an energetic and frothy mousse along with notes of lemon pith citrus, honey, and green pear. It has some ripeness despite zero dosage. Drink 2023-2033.

The NV Champagne Cuvée des Chevaliers Brut, which is the same base wine as the Brut Nature, is fresh but not very expressive aromatically, offering subtle notes of lime blossom and bread dough. The palate is medium-bodied, with clean notes of candied green apple, pear, and lime, and it has a fairly long finish. This would work well as an aperitf, whereas the Brut Nature is more gastronomic. 9 grams per liter dosage.
Based on the 2016 vintage and disgorged in March 2021, the latest rendition of Lacelot-Royer's NV Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cuvée des Chevaliers delivers aromas of honeycomb, almond paste, crisp orchard fruit and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise, with bright acids and a fleshy core of fruit, it's seamless and nicely balanced. This is a fine effort that comes recommended.
The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cuvee des Chevaliers is a delicious, beautifully balanced Champagne layered with perfumed apples, pears, flowers and spices. The wine reveals gorgeous inner perfume and impeccable overall harmony in a crisp, mid-weight style ideal for raw fish and light seafood dishes. The finish is long, clean and refreshing. No disgorgement date provided. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015. Importer: North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 336-9880
