NV Barnaut Grand Cru Grande Reserve Brut Champagne, 375 ml, France   

Based in Bouzy, this small-estate producer specializes in Pinot Noir-based Champagne. Edmond Barnaut was one of the first to base his brand outside of Reims and Epernay. He set up shop in Bouzy in 1874. Cellars were dug 15 meters underground and five generations of Barnaut descendants have maintained the quality of the house. Production is currently at about 120,000 bottles. The Grande Reserve is 2/3 Pinot Noir and 1/3 Chardonnay, the original blend made by Edmond Barnaut.
