Jean vesselle L'expression nature 20NV

Here's a lovely Champagne from France — Jean Vesselle L'expression's blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and it's a non-vintage bottling. A quick word on the grape: Chardonnay is the world's most famous white grape, remarkably versatile, ranging from crisp and citrusy when unoaked to rich and buttery with notes of apple, pear and, when oak-aged, vanilla and toast. There's Pinot Noir in the blend too: a delicate, thin-skinned red grape famed for its silky texture and bright flavors of red cherry, raspberry and earthy, savory undertones. Champagne earns those fine, persistent bubbles the hard way, through a traditional second fermentation right in the bottle. France is the spiritual home of wine, the place that gave us most of the world's classic styles and the whole idea that where a wine grows shapes how it tastes. It's a brilliant aperitif and a natural with oysters, fried snacks and good news worth toasting. Chill it right down before pouring.
