Les Perles du Mont Blanc Brut Ayze Gringet

Stunning, I hope someone continues to use this grape and make a sparkling. This is one of the top wines I had in 2022

Salty for days. It’s an interesting style but not a keeper for me. At least we know how to pronounce Gringet now, thanks to @Jason Wilson Just finished your book and loved it 👏👏

Blind reaction:
First taste drew an immediate “classical” from Abe. Initially shy, but clearly promising, it blossomed beautifully with some air and time.
The inside scoop:
Post-reveal was no shock, as this is one of Abe's go-to non-Champagne sparkling wines. Made from biodynamically farmed Gringet grapes in France’s eastern Savoie region, it has Alpine crispness and minerality, plus depth from extended lees aging.

Perfect for a very humid day. Incredible texture. Really long. Clean and savory.

Well. Damn. Belluard continually blows me away. Savory and just unique as hell. So special.

Tastes like ripe Bosc pears in front of a curtain of chalky minerality. Love it.

I was very pleased to find this bottle in a restaurant in Milan, as it is a rather uncommon wine.
From the French Alps a classic method, sparkling wine made with Gringet grapes. Tasted in February 2015.
I always like the mineral notes in this wine, as well as the freshness.
Citrus an floral too. Great for aperitivo, as it really stimulates your taste buds!
