Vollereaux
Brut Réserve Champagne Blend
Champagne, France
Pale lemon, tiny bubbles with stone and tropical fruit aromas and heavy yeasty scents. On the palate ripe pear and apple flavors with notes of citrus and pungent yeasty tones. Medium finish ending with a heavy dose of biscuits, drink now, not that pleasant!

It’s safe to say Mr Spittoon and I had a brilliant #champagneday. Once we knocked off work we got stuck into this bottle of Champagne Vollereaux Brut Reserved and wow we were both so impressed with it! A massive thank you to Tracey at The Wine Company for sending over this bottle for us to try and introducing us to this fabulous grower champagne.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And by ‘grower champagne’ I mean Vollereaux produce their champagne from their own vineyards. That may sound completely normal, but in champagne it’s actually not that normal. The big champagne houses, which you probably all know the names of, actually buy their grapes from lots of grape growers throughout the champagne region rather than having their own vineyards.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Volleraux began producing champagne in 1923. It’s still owned by the same family and they produce around 445k bottles per year. They’re an exciting producer who are experimenting and trying new things from submerging bottles off the coast of the Isle of Ouessant to age for a year, to planting Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Petit Meslier in their vineyards. It’s worth keeping an eye on these guys 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I found the Vollereaux Brut Reserve a sandy yellow colour in the glass with a fine stream of Milky Way like bubbles. Notes of crisp apples, florals and crunchy biscuits rise from the glass. While in the mouth it’s super smooth with a lick of effervescence. I love how Mr Spittoon described the mouthfeel: ‘delicate fragile bubbles’. Flavours of candied lemon backed with hints of nutty creme brûlée decorated with edible fragrant flowers and refreshing citrus has made this a champagne I’ll definitely be drinking again!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This one can be purchased online via winehouse.com.au + princewinestore.com.au and is available in select stores in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Let me know if you need the details!

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #winesample #tcweekdaywine

Degorgé il y a longtemps. Crémeux. Un peu vineux. Miam!
