When many other well known and Nationally named Champagne house are treadding on their names and forgetting about quality, this is a beacon of light through the fog of advertising. Crisp, clean, precise and classy, with fruit coming from primarily Grand Cru vineyards. Take this to your next gathering and you will definitely be invited back.

Wanted to try some 'grower' Champagne and this was one recommended in the genre. Quite different from the big-house NV Champagnes we've had over the years, the bottle we opened over the holidays for a brunch party was very fresh, lively and crisp, with a pronounced citrusy aroma and flavor profile. A fine, though not especially persistent mousse. If you prefer the yeasty styles, this may not be for you, but it went well with the light fare we had, and it's an interesting change of pace. We'll enjoy trying other Ellner bottlings...
