Community Tasting Note

Friday, September 3, 2010 - The nose on this wine is just what I expect from a Blanc de Noirs. It’s nutty and buttery, with a deep chocolate undertone running through it. There is some minerality that hints at sea stone, and a spin in the glass brings out some crisp pear and apple tones.

It’s delicately refined, with a ripeness that gives the illusion of the faintest sweetness at the very first sip, even though the wine is actually dry. It’s both crisp and round at the same time, with limestone minerals giving backbone to some very pleasant butter, cream, and chocolate tones. Rosebush and the faintest hint of cucumber appear toward the end and last into a very refreshing finish. This is an elegant wine, and there are some many stages and layers of complexity that subtly mingle throughout it that it takes a few sips to fully understand. Pretty impressive and easily worth trying.
