Sipping Fine Wine

8.9

Pale lemon color with aromas of citrus, stone fruits and herb notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach and lemon citrus with notes of honey and spice. Medium+ finish, vivid acidity, nice balance ending with lemon citrus and mineral character. Will age a bit. — 18 hours ago

The Hébrart domaine is located right on the Marne, in the village of Aÿ, catty-corner to Philipponnat. Their 1er cru Rosé, NV is a 60/40 mix of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, aged in INOX (with a small portion of the PN added as vin rouge aged in barrique). What’s most important, is that it’s delicious.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The wine pours a very pretty pink color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe strawberry, raspberry, lemon, pink flowers, marzipan and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ with a lovely, creamy texture. Serious enough for the nerds; seriously gluggable for the revelers. Disgorged April of 2023. Drink now. — a month ago

The nose opens with ripe yellow apple, poached pear, and a touch of roasted almond, all lifted by floral notes of acacia and a subtle, crushed stone minerality. On the palate, it is medium to full and layered, with a beautifully satiny texture that glides to a long, harmonious finish.

Expansive and elegant. — a month ago

Lovely aged red-fruited old vine Gamay, ripe vintage, but more freshness than many 2009 Beaujolais I’ve had the past few years, lingering finish, very fine! — 2 months ago
