Montaudon
Brut Cuvée Millésimé Champagne Blend
Champagne, France
Champagne Montaudon Cuvée Millésimé 2018 Brut
Reims, Champagne, France 🇫🇷
Overview
A refined vintage Champagne crafted from 50% Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier and 50% Chardonnay, expressing the richness of the 2018 harvest in Reims. The year was considered one of the best Champagne vintages of the decade, thanks to an ideal hot and dry summer, resulting in wines with ripeness, balance, and long aging potential.
Aromas & Flavors
Nose: a vibrant bouquet of lemon zest, apple, and bergamot, layered with green tea, peony, biscuit, cherry, redcurrant, and honey after aeration.
Palate: expressive, velvety, and savory, unfolding with ripe citrus, orchard fruit, and pastry notes, balanced by minerality and freshness.
Mouthfeel
Creamy mousse and silky texture with a vinous character, rounded by a dosage of 10 g/L that enhances body without overwhelming sweetness. The finish is long, lively, and elegant.
Winemaking & Style
Made in the méthode champenoise, this Millésimé ages on lees to gain depth and complexity. The slightly higher dosage places it at the richer end of Brut, offering roundness while retaining freshness and tension.
Food Pairing
A gourmet Champagne that shines with sweet-and-sour canapés, roasted hake in turmeric sauce, poultry kebabs, or spiced exotic dishes. Also excellent with risotto with butternut squash or truffle accents.
Verdict
A standout 2018 vintage Champagne — complex, layered, and vinous, yet vibrant. Built to please both connoisseurs and food lovers, with strong age-worthiness but already drinking beautifully.
