Ariston Fils
Aspasie Cepages d'Antan Brut Champagne Blend
The Ariston Aspasie Cépages d'Antan is a blend of one grape that is nearly extinct in Champagne, Petit Meslier and two rare grapes that get blended into Champagne. It parses into 40% Petit Meslier, 40% Arbanne, and 20% Pinot Blanc. None of the three main grapes; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier
Crazy good body and super soft mouthfeel. There is soft precision in the palate. Excellent micro oxygenation. Shades of the 2007 Taittinger Comte’s. Leads with the white citruses.- lime, lemon, grapefruit, kiwi, some pineapple juice, tropical green melon, what softer than soft powdery chalkiness, limestone, volcanics just as soft, spring flowers for days, perfect acidy and a purely beautifully balanced, knitted, length that has length and a singing finish that goes on and on. @ K&L Champagne tasting.

Jul 1st, 2016This blend of 40% Meslier, 40% Arbanne and 20% Pinot Blanc comes from a tiny plot of estate vines in the NE corner of Champagne. It has it all: exotic fruit, laser like acidity and a finish that goes on forever. Better than most wine!

Apr 24th, 2014One of the great beverages that @Gary Westby put in our Christmas Box! Thank you!
This is always a consistent Champagne. This could go with several different foods, seafood to pork and by itself.
