Aspect Gold, driven by a fine effervescence. Nose Radiant aromas of nice ripe apricot, peach, mirabelle plum and apple, delicately
spicy, heady signatures of the inspired blending of 5 varietals (Meunier,
Chardonnay, Petit Meslier, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris) harvested by hand in
2018 in the Clos Herbesonne, in Germaine, in the heart of the Mountain of
Reims. |
Palate The liveliness of the opening unveils
a gourmet fullness, highlighted by delicate woody notes thanks to the ageing of
the base wines in oak barrels and to 60 months of ageing of the bottles on
laths, with patient autolysis of the prise
de mousse yeasts. With this Clos Herbesonne,
Hubert Fagot, wine grower in the process of conversion to organic viticulture,
signs a radiant interpretation of the
reserved terroir of Germaine. |
