Champagne Gardet Brut Tradition 375Ml

Critic tasting note: “Our annual look at Champagne allows us to examine its state, be it the vintage, pricing, sales, or inventories, and we can taste A against B, C against A, B against C, etc. It’s an exercise we love but not always fair to wines like this Gardet, which, on its own, on any night of the week, can easily capture your imagination. Gardet has been around since 1895 as a Champagne negociant, and Tradition is the flagship label. The blend is 45% pinot noir, 45% pinot meunier and 10% chardonnay from 20 villages across the AOC. Reserve wines from the last 3 harvests comprise 30% of the final mix. It spends 36-48 months on lees and is dosed with a modest 8 g/L. Light and electric with bright citrus, white stone fruits, a chalky mineral underside, and a splash of lees that makes for an appealing bubble that is easy to drink. The simple match is gougères, or scrambled eggs. (Anthony Gismondi).” – 90/100, Gismondi on Wine
