by admin on Nov.20, 2007, under sparkling wine, white wine, wine
Background: This sparkler comes to us from the sunny Leelanau Peninsula of Michigan. A non-vintage blend of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Gris. After fermentation, the wine is blended with older reserve wines before undergoing secondary fermentation in the bottle, and aged en tirage before degorgement. Cuvee 107: en tirage January 2005, degorgement November 2006.
Presentation: Green champagne bottle. Pours a clear, very light straw. 12% ABV.
Nose: Crisp apple aroma with hints of grapefruit.
Taste: Clean and light, with a crisp fresh fruitiness.
Overall: Very good. The low price combined with elegance and balance make this an excellent buy.
