Brut Nature Champagne "Ballad of the Village" Vintage 2004

The La Ballad of the Village 2004 Champagne by Charles Dufour is an extraordinary wine from the Montagne de Reims, one of the most prestigious areas of Champagne.

This champagne is a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, aged for over 10 years on the lees, which enriches it with extraordinary complexity and depth. The La Ballad of the Village 2004 cuvée expresses elegant notes of ripe fruit on the nose, such as peach and apricot, combined with hints of hazelnut, brioche, and a touch of fresh butter. On the palate, this champagne is rich, with a solid structure, but also a surprising freshness and a long, mineral persistence.
