Aged 5 years in the bottle
12.5% abv
Ay France
$39.99 from Fine Wine Source in Livonia, Michigan
Appearance: straw
Aroma: very light overall with yeast, crisp apple, fresh mist of bubbles, my wife is going with apricot
Flavors: pear, apple and a pinch of white peach on the deliver; instead of biscuit I am going to call it a mineral earthy yeast note; crisp citrus on the mid and finish that reminds me of lemon peel
Mouthfeel: super fine effervesce that tickles the tongue, dry on the back of the palate, long lingering dry aftertaste of citrus
To the Point: if you are looking for a quality bubbly this will work but, you’ll have to do some searching to find it – I’ll bet. Look for your quality wine shops or party stores.
Don't overlook the white fruits on the delivery. Savor each sip. It is easy to just focus on the citrus.
That's fascinating. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
