Champagne Yves Ruffin, Cuvee Qian Premier Cru Brut Nature 2013 (1x75cl)

Brut Nature means no sugar is added at the end, so this is the driest style of Champagne you can buy. If your usual bubbles feel a touch sweet by the second glass, this is the direction to go.

A 2013 vintage Premier Cru is a good bottle for people who actually talk about what they are drinking, which makes it a thoughtful gift rather than a safe one. Free delivery in Hong Kong over HK$800, flat HK$80 under that, usually 2-5 business days.

Tasting notes

Brut Nature Champagne usually reads lean and chalky, with citrus and a savoury, bread-like note and no sweetness on the finish.
