Brut Grand Cru Champagne Blend Rosé

9.1

Interesting this can be up to 96% Chardonnay. They trade Chardonnay fruit for Pinot to make this. Franck Bonville only grows Chardonnay. 5 grams dosage.

It has excellent mousse and racy acidity. Better depth than the two previous cuvées.

Strawberries, cherries, very light black raspberries, touch of orange citrus, pink grapefruit, their is a tanginess here, nice soft chalkiness & volcanics, saline, sea fossils, white spice, yeast, baguette crust, cheesecake, pink flowers/roses, excellent acidity, nicely balanced with good tension and a nicely polished finish that last a minute.

This is the youngest in the mix and most of the base wine is from 2021…a year filled with weather issues from start to finish. Don’t think you’ll see many producers make a vintage cuvée.

Cornas Syrah 2019

Wish I had patience. A little bit of a lot that I’m sure will become more pronounced with cellar time. Especially olives. Tannins need softening. — 8 months ago

Pur Avize Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs 2012

Wow, yum. On the nose: sweet canteloupe and citrus with some vanilla/coconut cream. On the palate: lovely acidity, lemon, wet stone, soft cream...excellent palate density, soft, refined mousse and a touch of white pepper. Elegance and a cool decadence in a glass. — 2 years ago
