Pehu-Simonet Face Nord Extra Brut NV

AOC Champagne, France

Blend: 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay | 12.5% ABV

£38.00

We are delighted to present this French Champagne made with a blend of Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, grapes. This Pinot Noir dominated Champagne shows crunchy red fruits, great acidity, and the 30% of reserve wine going back to 2005 adds another dimension and richness to this wine. Quite sumptuous though with an appealing mineral backbone.
