WINE: MICHEL ARNOULD La Grande Cuvee NV

Around 1929, Henri Lefevre decided to stop selling his entire harvest of grapes to champagne houses and start holding back some to make himself.

Fast-forward a few generations and we have the son of Michel Arnould turning the family's grapes into their own champagne.


70% pinot noir, 30% chardonnay.


Interesting flavours. Big on the caramelised pineapple and lychee. Lemon. Good, clean finish.
