FINE+RARE, Jul 2015

A fresh and lively blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay from 35-year-old vines. Rich aromatics are followed by a long, elegant palate infused with brioche, orange zest and honey baked lemon. Elegant and beautifully balanced.

From Bouzy. Green apple, basic yeastiness. Very pert acidity that makes even English fizz seem soft! (RH)

The non-vintage Brut Reserve offers orange, sweet spice, and yeast aromas. Light to medium-bodied and delicate, this refined wine has floral flavors intermingled with touches of citrus. It should be consumed over the next 3-4 years. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524.
