Keush
Origins Méthode Traditionelle Brut Sparkling Blend
Armenia
It is remarkably sharp and fresh with a strong stewed-sour-patch-kids-on-toast in a good way note. It is unique, toothsome, and savory, but it has a swatch of candied lemon running through it, finishing bitter but with a streak of sweet citrus. What a steal this is.

Say hello to my first Armenian wine!
Very light golden in color.
Nice nose of citrus, earth, bread, spices, light vegetables, herbs and white pepper.
Full bodied with medium plus acidity and medium sized bubbles.
Dry on the palate with citrus, lemons, green apples, herbs, yeast, light spices, river rocks, earth and white pepper.
Nice length on the finish with tangy limes.
This is a delicious sparkling wine from Armenia. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Needs 20 minutes of airtime to open and show the complexity. As it opens up, more yeast notes show up.
Good by itself or with food. Neither bitter nor tart. Really nice. A good quality wine. Feels like a French Crémant.
Paired very nicely with a French Petit Brie cheese.
A blend of 60% Voskehat and 40% Khatouni. Made in the traditional method. Aged for 22 months on its lees.
12% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$26.

Same botting date as LBT but much more character and finesse here. Assuming some post-disgorgement development. Champagne cellar saver! 🤫

Native grapes, crown in limestone soils, 1800 m altitude vineyards. 18 months of the lees. Mineral but with honed edges and a pleasing mousse.

First Armenian wine I’ve had. Dead ringer for a quality entry level NV champagne. Showed some rounder stone fruit notes. But quite the quality for the price.
