Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Bright Ruby, complex fruit aromas, spice and woodsy oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry fruit, cacao, herbs, floral and spice. Big firm chewy tannins, medium+ finish, ending with mineral earthy tones, a nice wine to Sip!! — 2 months ago

From Castilla Y Leon, & at 14.5% abv, not something that typically attracts me. But the importer Pastor brings in great sherries, so down the rabbit hole I went. Glad I went. Pours an inky black, with integrated blackberries & cassis on nose & on palate. Fills up the mouth but in balance- like Juan Gil, does not drink big or taste out of balance. If anything, tastes more like a black fruited Chinon, especially with a fine graininess to its texture. Had with harissa chicken & quinoa. — 4 years ago

🌱 Champagne Bourgeois‑Diaz is a biodynamic grower‑producer in the Marne, crafting champagne with purity, intention, & zero makeup. Husband & wife team, Jérôme & Charlotte, work their vineyards in harmony with nature, while also taking a lower-intervention approach in the winery. 

✨ In this way, each bottle gives voice to the growing environment surrounding their vines.

👁️ Beginning with a vibrant color in the glass, this wine offers a sense of vitality and verve. Glowing hints of gold might speak to a higher proportion of reserve wines in the blend or perhaps the influence of oak (50% oak, 50% stainless steel) in the winemaking process.

👃 The aromas and flavors remind me of apple crisp, quince paste, marzipan, toast, brioche, blanched almond, nougat, lemon curd, white peach, raspberry coulis, papaya skin, chalk, white blossom, wet stones, & oyster shell.

😋 On the palate, this wine is bone dry, with zero dosage, a steely acidity that builds tension with the creamy mousse & mouthfeel, a medium body, medium alcohol, followed by a long, elegant finish.

Have yet to taste a bad vintage of this. Deep straw or gold in the glass. Highly aromatic. Pineapple, baked apricot, and honey. Bold with firm acidic structure. Fruit, minerality, and backbone. Screaming for Al Pastor tacos. — 4 years ago
