An all-Chardonnay blend has obviously spent quite a time on tirage (hence price, I assume), developing lots of rather Dom Perignon-like yeast autolysis racy depth apparent on nose. It manages that trick of having quite enough elegance and acidity to refresh (no need to drink this champagne, unlike many other fuller-bodied examples, with food) but not a hint of greenness or tartness. Bravo, Billecart-Salmon, a well-run family company that has never been accused of undercharging but which does produce goods. You may well wonder whether a non-vintage wine without gravitas of multi-vintage blends such as Krug Grande Cuvee or Laurent Perrier Grand Siecle could possibly be worth as much as many a decent vintage-dated champagne. answer, I swear, is yes. I tasted it alongside considerably more expensive Bollinger Grande Annee 1996 and La Grande Dame 1995 and preferred it to both. Bollinger will presumably blossom in about five years' time but for moment it is almost aggressively youth Wine Ent

wine is pearlescent - a pale, lustrous gold with a fine, lively mousse. nose is complex yet ethereal. Wonderfully refined, it is intriguing and enticing, its minerality complemented by hints of white flowers, acacia and hawthorn. A salty note enhances aromas of bread crust, brioche and merest hint of green apple and hazelnut. palate is quintessentially pure, very epitome of balance and restraint. Exuberant on entry, mousse becomes more of a caress, while bubbles dance playfully on palate. Elegance, finesse, bright vitality, depth and power allied with a lightness of touch-it is difficult to encapsulate so many complementary and contradictory elements coming together in harmony. Refined, feminine and seductive, voluptuous yet restrained, and superbly balanced, this vintage compares stylistically to great 1988. According to Didier Depond, Director of House of Champagne Salon, this singular wine should be served in a tulip-shaped glass rather than a narrow champagne flute Wine Spectator r

This wine is from United States, California region, Napa County sub-region and Spring Mountain District appellation. In 1999, the Steffen Family purchased the land that is now Vineyard 7 & 8. The focus is entirely on two varietals representative of theSpring Mountain terroir; Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery sits almost on top of the Spring Mountain ridge at anelevation of slightly above 2000 feet. Led by winemaker, Luc Morlet, the approach is based on a collaborative effort to make the bestwines possible from their vineyards. Luc studied in France, holding degrees in Enology from Rheims University, France andViticulture from Ecole Viticole de Champagne. Wesley Steffens assists Luc in the winemaking process, and manages the dailyoperations in the winery and vineyard. Wes spent four harvests at Harlan Estate, where he gained an appreciation and understandingof the entire winemaking process. The sustainably farmed, hand-picked vineyards, which lie above the fog, bring late ripening, lowyields, natural drainage sit atop sedimentary, volcanic, and clay soils. Small fermentations, strict sorting of the fruit, techniques basedon cleanliness and organization are all part of the winemaking approach. CABERNET SAUVIGNON Wine California Still Wine

... Read more
This wine is from Italy, Trentino-alto Adige region, Alto Adige sub-region. Tasting notes This dry white wine is pale straw-yellow in color. The clean, intense aroma and dry flavour with pleasant golden apple aftertaste make Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio a wine of great character and versatility. Other text In 1961, the Santa Margherita oenologist had what proved to be a brilliant idea. He decided to try the white vinification technique used for the production of French Champagne on the best Pinot Grigio grapes from Trentino-Alto Adige. This led to the creation of an innovative white wine which, with its fresh aroma and silky taste, created a new fashion in white wine drinking. This wine has since continued to gain in popularity both in Italy and abroad, maintaining a clear leadership in the Pinot Grigio D.O.C. category. Santa Margherita was the first company to vinify the pinkish Pinot Grigio grapes as white wine. The must is not left on the skins to avoid its acquiring their rust-red color. After soft-pressing the must is left to ferment 15-20 days at 18A-20AC. The wine is then stored at 15A-16AC. in special stainless-steel tanks until bottling. Food pairing Excellent as an aperitif, ideal accompaniment to seafood salads and fish- and shellfish-based pasta and rice courses. Perfect with white meats and boiled or grilled fish and with soufflAs. PINOT GRIS Wine ITALIAN STILL WINE
