José Michel & Fils Champagne Prémices Brut N/V unveils a fine and persistent effervescence, heralding a champagne that masterfully balances the vigour of the meunier red variety with the finesse of the chardonnay grape. Aromas of freshly baked brioche intertwine with the crisp freshness of green apple and the juiciness of ripe pear. A delicate floral whisper, akin to a honeysuckle vine in spring, envelops the whole. On the palate, it is precise, enveloping, with a finish that extends the pleasure, like a sustained note in a chamber orchestra piece.
