2017 Brut

Brilliant pale gold in the glass, this wine opens on the nose with a delicate woodland flower note complimented by hints of quince, toasted almond, baguette and even a slight hint of ceremonial incense. The very fine yet exuberant bubbles leave a perfect ring of mousse around the glass inviting the first sip. The palate is a complex interweaving of apple tart, lemon zest, and starfruit. As the wine relaxes and you look deeper into the flavor profile, notes of exotic woods and gingerbread emerge balancing a crisp natural acidity with fruit sweetness rather than sugar. The balance helps give the finish an almost ethereal quality as the tiny bubbles dance across the back of the palate.
