Great entry level bubbly from a boutique negoce. Most of the grapes come from vrigny. Very fleshy and fruit forward style -- notes of citrus, freshly crushed summer berries, and vanilla soaked brioche abound.

Straw-colored in the glass with a fine mousse. The Arlaux Brut Grande Cuvée offers aromas of golden apple, fresh ginger and candied orange peel. On the palate toasty, yeasty notes are bolstered by mouthwatering acidity. The finish is particularly long and lovely.

Omg, a steal for 35 bucks, creamy, tiny bubbles, showing good age. Lot 009-0, primarily 04 vintage. Love!
