Country: France / L’Osmose Extra Brut
Variety: Chardonnay Champagne
Winery: Pierre Gerbais / Champagne
Although not labeled as such, this is a blanc de blancs produced from two old-vine parcels of Chardonnay, one facing north, the other south. That in itself helps the balance of this dry wine. It is perfumed and crisp with a taut mineral texture that contrasts with the ripe apple and pink-grapefruit flavors. Drink now.
