Barnaut 'Grande Réserve' Grand Cru Brut Champagne NV Review
Edmond Barnaut was one of the first grower-producers in the Champagne region, starting the winery in Bouzy in 1874. The estate’s original bottling, made with two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay, is still made today under the Grande Réserve label — using a reserve wine that’s been drawn from and replenished since its conception. Aromas of preserved lemons, yellow apples, and camembert float out of the glass and the rich, creamy finish lingers on the palate.
