Thornton 1995 Brut Reserve (California)

Country: US / Brut Reserve
Variety: Champagne Blend California
Winery: Thornton / California

This is probably the most crowd-pleasing of Thornton’s current lineup. It has all the elegance and class of the Brut Reserve Natural but a touch of sugar adds roundness and richness to the fruit. It’s more savory, more piquant, fatter, without being blowsy or obvious. This is very fine brut, able to hold its own with the best.
