2018 Blanc de Blancs

The 2018 vintage Lytle-Barnett Blanc de Blancs is pale gold and brilliant in the glass with a generous bead of tiny bubbles. Aromatically, you are greeted with notes of honeysuckle and yellow apple tart that develop into classic scone with pear butter notes as the wine warms and opens up. The first sip tantalizes with toasty notes of baked galette and quince paste. There is a succulent fruit sweetness on the mid-palate that is complimentary to the savory notes that have developed over the years of graceful aging. The persistent lingering finish closes with notes of lemon tart and marzipan and the soft grip of the vintage’s natural acidity. The low dosage rate of 2 g/L ensures that the wine finishes crisp and mouthwateringly dry.
