The NV Aubry Brut is a Premier Cru from Jouy-lès-Reims. The wine I have tasted was an assemblage of 45% Meunier, 25% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir and 5% "other" (which means Arbanne et.al.), based on 60% 2011 and 40% "solera" or perpetual reserve, started in 1998. Disgorged in 2/2014, the wine offers a clear and subtle bouquet of white pip fruits, carambola and citrus flavors along with some oak, nut, rye, cracker and spicy flavors. Round and elegant on the palate, this is a clear, dry, well structured and balanced Champagne with a nicely mineral/iodine taste, as well as a very good and characterful finish. It is good as an aperitif but also serves the first courses.

This is a full, ripe Champagne with a lightly mineral texture. It comes from the northern end of the Montagne de Reims, giving dominance to Pinot Noir. It is a food-style of Champagne, with its dry texture and almond and citric flavors.

Lightly wooly in texture, with firm acidity and hints of ripe apple, slivered almond and golden raisin. Disgorged August 2017. Drink now. 4,000 cases imported.
