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 blend consists of 95% Tempranillo from 40-year-old vines in Las Cuevas, El Palo and Las Monjas in Rodezno, complemented with 5% Graciano from the Montecillo estate in Fuenmayor. The Graciano gives the wine an aromatic intensity and acidity, to carry the structure and elegance of the Tempranillo. The grapes are vinified separately in four-and-a-half-year-old American oak for three years, and...
