Champagne Vincent Bliard, Les Fondamentaux Brut 1er Cru NV

‘It has the most delicious nose – lemon curd and liquorice cream. And that's what it tastes like: lemon curd folded through with fennel seeds and a cool minty-earth whisper of liquorice and parsley root. The fruit must have been beautifully ripe because the sweetness clearly doesn't come from the low dosage, but that sweetness is beautifully balanced by the gentle nibble and nip of grapefruit pith and peel oils and the faintest feather of herbs. The bubbles feel as if they're made of satin, lacing through the fruit with languid lustre, and foaming into the finish like the soft hiss of a wave on a wide sandy beach. *It's a champagne you'd want to drink when you need a pick-me-up*: it curves around you gently, tenderly, and you can almost feel it suffusing you with lightness.’ Drink 2024-2028.

Vincent Bliard 可以話係香檳區內實行有機農業的始祖，由 1960 年代開始就已經實行有機農業，至今已經是第四代傳人。Bliard 家族堅信，只有真正尊重自然和環境，他們才會作出最好的回饋。

釀造按照傳統方法進行，最少在橡木桶內陳釀一年，半個世紀以來一直追求純正，只使用葡萄皮上最自然的酵母作酒精發酵。

即使是最基本的酒款，也在酒樽內連帶酵母菌陳釀5 年，比其他釀造者的香檳多出一倍以上的時間 ! 釀造具有深度、結構、味道強度和複雜性的獨特香檳，
