The 2015 Billecart-Salmon Rosé is a rare, vintage Champagne, a rich and complex blend (52% Chardonnay, 48% Pinot Noir) known for its coppery hue and flavors of wild strawberry, red currant, and blood orange, with extended aging (98 months) lending spice and almond notes, making it a sought-after, powerful yet elegant expression of the vintage.
Accendo Cellars is the Araujo Family’s wine brand, made by two generations working together with their longstanding team to honor the winemaking and family heritage of Napa Valley.
Les Rouannières, perhaps the finest, firmest, slowest-to-evolve and longest-lasting of all Papin's moelleux, is from very meager, superficial soil whose base is the volcanic rock spilite.
Key Characteristics (Colette Bonnet Noir Essentiel N°2016 Extra Brut):
Style: Organic Blanc de Noirs (100% Pinot Noir) from the Côte des Bar.
Profile: Aromatic with notes of apricot, mirabelle plum, quince, and toasted pineapple, with a creamy, mineral-driven finish.
Dosage: Very low (Extra Brut), resulting in a crisp, dry palate.
Disgorged in February 2022 as a brut zero (1g/L of dosage), Le Clos des Trois Clochers 2016 (100% Chardonnay) is showing superbly, evoking aromas of pear, peach, spices, pastry, almond and spring flowers, intertwined with lemon oil hints.
It has a velvety texture, a full body, and is beautifully balanced, with a long palate evolution and a long, harmonious finish, tasting of cherry, plum, blueberry, rose petal, vanilla, and spicy oak.
