Sainte Anne Brut Champagne Blend

Rated this lower last night. I thought it was a bit too simple for the price, but in hindsight, there's nothing much to fault. A bit of reduction at the start, which blew off to reveal a deliciously fruity cuvee with hints of oxidation. Excellent dosage at 5.5 g/l. Racy, dry, balanced, with ample complexity. On the lighter side of grower champagne.

Note: For half the cost, I could probably find local cuvees that show somewhat like this. But irrespective of price (f Australian pricing), this was a very good wine. Perfect aperitif. Perhaps it needs some time in bottle. Love the LIP on the back label. Disgorged 2016, 65/35 PN/CH, 60/20/20 2013/11/12.
