" A copper straw hue, the NV Champagne Cuvée Influence Brut is 74% from 2018 and the rest from 2017, and it’s made from 33% Pinot Noir, 46% Meunier, and the rest Chardonnay. A very nice bouquet opens to aromas of toasted almond croissant, raspberry coulis, and tangerine. Round and full-bodied, it is juicy and inviting on the palate, with a wonderful ease that’s refreshing, and it has a clean and snappy finish. This is a charming wine to enjoy over the next 5-6 years."
