en tirage June 2010

Blend: “Chiefly Chardonnay”

#0928 of 4297 bottles

11% abv

$23.00 a bottle

Appearance: pale straw with a whirl wind of bubbles.  The first glass poured was pure foam.  These bubbles were ready to escape from this bottle. 

Aroma: a light 7-up likeness; very light citrus and the bubbles are just pure … pure … fresh! 

Flavors: light lemon twist, light lemon meat bitterness, touch of floral and light mineral water

Mouthfeel: zippy, crisp, lightly bitter, and fairly dry

To the Point: a good one for a toast, perfect for a New Year toast, much better than buying a grocery store type bubbly, the effervesces seem to last longer on this one, it’s just pure goodness.

Bottle #0090 of 4093

$37.00

Blend: Vignoles, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonny

Appearance: pale golden straw with a nice head and a whirl wind of bubbles

Aroma: Fresh apple, green apple, white bread toast, citrus meat, a little honey appears as the wine warms,  

Flavors and Mouthfeel: full of flavors; tart green apple, lemon meat on the front with lemon rind on the back, mineral water, white pepper, solid carbonation, super crisp, very dry finish, long lingering citrus and spice on the palate, medium – I might even go medium-full  body for its bitter, tart, spice, and complex flavor profile.

To the Point: I can get bored drinking some bubbly but, this is very nice.  Before I buy another grocery store sparkling wine I would make the time to get this shipped to me.

Appearance: light golden delicious apple color with a yellow-green hue around the rim

Aroma: soft summer sweet fruits

Flavors: a mix of green apple and Fuji Apple, splash of sweet summer fruit

Mouthfeel: tartness on the mid and finish, touch of citrus rind lingers on the tongue, easygoing bubbly, light fizzy feel. 

Pair this with a fruit salad or maybe set up the chocolate fountain with some fresh fruits. 

I paired the Consort with a Hemingway Classic Cameroon Cigar
