Bailly-Lapierre NV Brut (Crémant de Bourgogne)

Country: France / Brut
Variety: Chardonnay Burgundy
Winery: Bailly-Lapierre / Crémant de Bourgogne

Effectively a Blanc de Blancs, although not labeled as such, this is a crisp, steely, mineral wine. It has a Chablis-like cut and thrust of citrus and apple fruit flavors, bright and fruity, although with an attractive bottle age toast.
