Lambert de Seyssel - Brut Crand Gru 'Royal' - Savoie, France

 Producer Profile
Lambert de Seyssel works land that has been under vine for hundreds of years, although this iteration of the winery is somewhat recent after a turbulent history for Royal Seyssel. Once the premier wine coming out of Savoie, Royal Seyssel fell off the map for most of the 20th century before rehabilitation by the Lamberts. This wine is made in the Champagne Method and aged in bottle for three years. For the money, it’s one of the absolute finest sparkling wines in the world.

Tasting Notes
Toasted brioche, honeydew melon, pie crust. Stewed pears and more nice yeasty bread notes on the palate. A great dry sparkling wine.
