Vincent Charlot ‘La Fruit de ma Passion’ Extra Brut 2017 Review
Complex and refreshing, this sparkling wine is ideal for both sipping on its own and pairing with salty snacks. The Champagne is made from 55 percent Pinot Meunier, a higher than average amount, which provides crisp green apple and succulent honeysuckle aromas. The palate follows with a juicy and crisp finish defined by light brioche notes.
