Tasting Notes
50% pinot meunier, 40% pinot noir, 10% chardonnay from Cumières, this is the classic non-vintage expression of Geoffroy’s house style. The rich fig and red apple fruits create a compelling contrast with crisp acidity and tight grapefruit and lemon notes. Three years on lees makes for generous maturity, reinforcing honey and fruit cake spice and a deliciously creamy texture. Wonderful, easy drinking freshness.
Edwina Watson, Buyer at Armit Wines
Ripe pear and a hint of nuttiness reveal a Non-Vintage which combines finesse and serious flavours with considerable aplomb. A perfect proponent of the Geoffroy house style this will leave you keen to explore the rest of the range!
Reviews & Scores
The NV Brut Expression is a very pretty and expressive wine. The interplay of bright aromatics from the Chardonnay and textural weight from the red grapes offers quite a bit of complexity and overall nuance. Creamy and expressive, the Expression turns a bit more focused into the finish. All the elements are nicely balanced.Antonio Galloni
Bright and elegant, this well-knit, aperitif-style Champagne offers lively acidity and a fine bead, with floral overtones and a focused palate of poached pear, chalk, candied kumquat and passion fruit. Saline-tinged finish. Disgorged January 2014. Drink now through 2020. 270 cases imported.

TASTING NOTES
The nose of this Champagne is a spring bouquet: rose, wild strawberry, raspberry and later blackberry, combine perfectly to offer the taster aromas, which would be unexpected in a normal rosé Champagne. The mouth follows on from the nose, with the structure of the Pinot Noir leaving at a convincing vinosity at the finish. By virtue of its freshness, this...
