Château de Lavernette
Réserve de Lavernette Granit Brut Nature Gamay
Sparkling Beaujolais (Gamay).
Bottled: 25 February 2014
Disgorged: 21 July 2015
Last of (4) bottles bought in 2016. Buy these and drink within a year or two from disgorgement. This bottle is in decline today, no longer fresh and lively, what I enjoy typically about this $24 bottle.
Toasted brioche, cooked pear, short finish, acidity faded. Nice bottle, but diminished.

Disgorged 9 October 2014, if I've had sparkling gamay before it was nothing like this, dead ringer for a blanc de noirs champagne, dry but incredibly rich and heavy, opulent, beyond serious wine for the price
