finely detailed Pinot Noir that far exceeds its regional appellation

blackberry fruit that takes time to unfurl

or mussels to unlock the full gastronomic delight of Bouza do Rei's creation

Ripe cherry and plum lead on the nose

Taittinger, Brut Réserve, NV Malvazia Preta finely detailed Pinot Noir thatThe consistently excellent Brut Rserve is a benchmark Grand Marque bubbly that embodies the house style, and is always reliable on special occasions. A brilliant golden yellow, the nose is very open and expressive, with aromas of fresh orchard fruit, citrus, and brioche, alongside some lovely floral notes. The palate is beautifully refined and elegant, leading to a long, delicious finish.
