Domaine Belluard
Ayse Terroir du Mont Blanc Brut Zéro Savoie Gringet
Savoie, France
So good! Night one was a bit restrained, tempting me to wonder, why not champagne? Night two was fireworks... nose of fresh cut grass, warm buttered biscuits, sweet cream, bee pollen, bunches of fresh green herbs. Then, a progression of minerals and flowers on the palate, chalky at first then building to a climax of granite and buttercups and, unbelievably, blueberry. Beautiful balance.

Guava, mango, pear, fruit cocktail, dried apricot, quince, musky, honeyed, fruit leather upon opening. Bright, complex, delicate mousse with a juicy line of acidity that runs through it. Light, refined, feminine, fresh. Green grapes, crisp, quince/quince paste, stone fruits. Slight aldehydic notes mixed with gooseberries/green apple tartness, golden plums and mineral. Mouthwatering, intriguing, unique.

Mont Blanc zero dosage from Belluard, great quaffer, some might even say a high-end Pet-Nat from this #biodynamic producer. Belluard's vineyards or only 30 miles from Mont Blanc.
Mont Blanc gets the luxury bubbles treatment of methode Champenoise and is only a single vintage wine. It will spend several years on the lees, made from 100% Gringet grapes grown at 450-meters in iron soils. #belluard #savoie #nodosage #gringet #montblanc

A very special wine! Very thankful for the friends that shared it with me. (Mont Blanc is a vintage méthode Champenoise gringet that spends years on the lees, made from grapes grown at 450-meters in iron heavy soils. BioD)
