LALLIER R.020 BRUT NV

Style: Rocks & Minerals

The young house of Lallier was established in 1996, purchased by winemaker Francis Tribaut in 2004, and in 2011 moved operations from its 18th century vaulted cellars in Ay to a new facility in Oger. The estate is privileged to eight-hectares in Ay and four in Cramant, Chouilly and Vertus, providing for one quarter of its annual production of 450,000 bottles, the remainder sourced from across the Montagne de Reims and Cotes des Blancs. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks using only natural yeasts, and partial malolactic fermentation maintains freshness. These are clean, well-balanced and fruit-focused champagnes, though entry cuvees can lack character and presence. TYSON STELZER

Sourced predominantly from the 2020 harvest, which makes up 81% of the blend. For the first time since the creation of Réflexion, Chardonnay dominates the blend at 51%. Grapes were sourced from over 50 crus within Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne and Montgueux for the Chardonnay, and Vallée de la Marne, Montagne de Reims and Côte des Bar for the Pinot Noir. An early harvest, starting in late August, yielded a superb quality of grapes, combining delivering intensity and freshness

From our Réflexion Champagne collection, reinterpreted year after year to reflect the unique character of each harvest, R.020 Multi-Vintage Brut come in a brand-new modern and elegant bottle, one that echoes our house¿s deep connection to terroir and commitment to nature. Réflexion embodies Lallier signature style; a perfect balance of our four atmospheres: Freshness, Purity, Depth and Intensity. A fresh and delicate silky opening with balanced depth in the middle. The finish is long with a pleasant aromatic persistence and dominated by a mineral salinity. LALLIER
