Champagne Paul Berthelot Cuvee Eminence Brut Premier Cru NV
95 points
“Beautifully expressive nose of pear, apple, citrus, and oyster shell. A lovely sweetness defined by candied citrus fruit underscores a fantastically creamy mousse. At 7 grams/liter of residual sugar, this blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay is balanced and inviting, with marvelous tension and a finish of crushed almond.”

About The Producer
Domaine Berthelot dates back to the 1940s, in the village of Dizy, a few minutes north of Epernay. The Berthelot domaine has 16 hectares of vineyards between their home base in Dizy and nearby Avenay, which are both classified as Premier Cru, in addition to a few select holdings from down the road in Aÿ, a Grand Cru village. Pinot noir and chardonnay make up the vast majority of their holdings, planted in roughly equal parts across all of their vineyards.
