JP Chenet Brut Blanc de Blancs NV (France)

Description

Off-dry, Pastry, Peach

"Delightfully fruited and elegantly fragrant, showing ripe nectarine, rockmelon, crunchy apple, and white flower aromas. The palate delivers a beautifully rounded mouthfeel and bright acidity, making it refreshing and lingering" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

A clear, golden body with green highlights, with a stream of many fine bubbles and a wonderful persistence. A light, fruity bouquet with notes of white fruits and brioche hints. A fresh and fruity palate of fresh fruits, apricots and white peach. Powerful, but well-balanced. This wine is elegant and refined.

Relatively light clay-and-limestone soil which lends itself well to growing white grapes for blending into base wine destined for bottle fermentation.

The grapes are harvested and gently pressed, go through a cold settling, then yeasting and finally fermentation at low temperature. Bottle fermentation takes place in pressure tanks for 6 months. These 6 months of ageing will give this superior sparkling wine its complexity.

Food Pairing: As an aperitif or to accompany dishes including scallops, grilled fish and even light dishes such as poultry.
