Ratings
This wine features a delicate yet somewhat obscure bouquet, offering white flowers, green apples, and white bread, subtly accentuated with hints of honey. It's crisp and thin, yet notably lacks structure and volume. The bubbles dissipate quickly; while not inherently an issue, their absence leaves the wine as merely pleasant and relatively complex, which is disappointing considering its price.
Huré Frères
Raoul Huré and his two sons, François and Pierre, are the dynamic trio behind Huré Frères, a family-run winery in Ludes, nestled in the Montagne de Reims. Founded in the mid-20th century, this estate is a proud representative of the grower's Champagne movement, a movement that champions the creation of terroir-driven wines—wines that are as much a reflection of their land as they are of the people who craft them.
