Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, October 4, 2011 - Slightly yellow color. Very expressive nose of ripe white fruits with some bread and brioche. On the palate the wine is very open and expressive with ripe apple, distant honey and a touch of leesy bread. Wine is rather sweet, but not overtly sweet nor cloying; the sweetness is in excellent balance with grippy acidity and rather powerful mousse. Wine finishes with apple and honey, evolving into more nuanced flavors of lees and citrus, finally closing off with a nice, fresh and tart lift. Compared to many other sweet and demi-sec sparkling wines, this was incredibly elegant and classy.

Paired excellently with a Sacher cake. Serve very cold in order to keep the wine fresh and its sweetness down. Even though I prefer dry sparklers, this one really hit the spot. Even though wines of the big Champagne houses are not the epitome of great quality-price-ratio, this wine was an ok purchase at 48,50€.
