A curious bottle.
A very champagne like nose, all grilled toast and green apple. I can't ever recall a still wine with a nose so redolent of champagne. Extremely complex in the mouth, still with the champagne-like quality of green apple and toast, but also licorice, rose water, lavender honey, melon, cake and thyme [!]. A nice bit of chewyness. I found it a bit loose at the end, but the flavor of it certainly stuck around in the mouth. (I was the only one who considered calling it "short"). I am uncertain as to what the encepagement would be. Don't recall seeing the etiquette "blanc de blancs" in CdP before. I certainly would have thought Clairette + ?. Viognier is not authorized in CdP Blanc, is it? -E -- Emery Davis You can reply to by removing the well known companies |
