L’Ormarins Brut Classique NV has eye catching vigorous bubbles. Typical yeast and cracker biscuit notes on the nose with lively citrus rind and a briny, maritime nuance also apparent. The mouth manages to be both refreshingly vibrant and dry at the same time. Bright effervescence with creamy lees richness from its time in bottle, with distinct brioche and sourdough toast notes vying with lively grapefruit and citrus flavours. Elegant, restrained, taut and thrilling, it’s beautifully poised yet equally flamboyant and exuberant! A gentle nutty note lingers on the long tail.
