Baron Fuente Brut
This super well balanced bottle of Champagne gets an astoundingly luxurious 7 years of ageing on the lees. It is very rare to find something so reasonably priced that is kept for so long. Composed of even parts Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier it is fermented in stainless steel. Baron Fuente is a negociant that owns almost 90 acres of vines and purchases another 90 acres "sur pied", meaning that they pick the grapes. The Esprit has a very high quality sour dough toastiness arrived at honestly from the long ageing on the lees. It is round and easy to drink, with flavors of hazelnuts contrasting its nice citrus zip. The perfect thing to serve for an elegant aperitif at an important dinner party! |
