Domaine du Vissoux Cremant de Bourgogne Brut L0920

點擊次數(shù)：1802

Chermette's NV Cremant de Bourgogne Brut L0920 - a blend of Chardonnay from 2007-2008 - is prominently salty and chalky, with scents of green tea and peppermint; brightly juicy lemon and green apple; and a stimulating persistence. A bit coarse in mousse and marginally less savory than last year's variation, this is nonetheless distinctively delicious. (The corresponding Extra Brut carries the same lot number due to a printing error, but the two are clearly marked to indicate their differing degrees of dosage.) Pierre Chermette - for more about whom, consult in particular my report in issue 184 - didn't start picking his 2010s until September 23rd, with Moulin-a-Vent and Fleurie Les Garants; and completed his harvest of the estate's majority Appellation Beaujolais vineyards on October 5. "Really, the quality was comparable to that of 2009," he asserts, "just at a full degree less alcohol and with higher acidity. Vinification was easy." Yields, he adds, were comparable, and only a slightly more stringent selection of fruit was required than in 2009.Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800
