1 person found it helpfulJun 1st, 2014More mellow and bready than the 2009, the last Tête de Cuvée vintage declared. Acids are attenuated though crisp apple still peaks out from behind sweet pear, wheat, and yeast. Sublime micro bubbles as expected from the Étoile series. Good for winter, evening sips, and lightweight chicken or fish pairings. Not the show-stealing stand-alone 2009 or the stunner 2008 tête des têtes.
