Champagne Non-Vintage (NV) Champagne is the region’s signature style and represents the majority of bottles produced, designed to deliver a consistent house character year after year rather than reflect a single harvest. Producers achieve this by blending wines from multiple vintages—often including a portion of reserve wines—along with the classic grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. NV Champagnes are typically fresh, balanced, and approachable, showing flavors of green apple, citrus, pear, brioche, and subtle toast, with lively acidity and fine bubbles. Aged longer on lees than most sparkling wines outside Champagne, NV bottlings offer impressive complexity and reliability, making them ideal both as an aperitif and for pairing with a wide range of foods. 🥂
