Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CAVE DE RIBEAUVILLE |
A REPEAT of that was released on August 13, 2022 at $21.95. Herbaceous, is my intiial tasting note: According to the winery, this blend of 80% Pinot Blanc and 20% Auxerrois spends approximately 9 months on the lees between tirage and degorgement. It has an extremely pale straw colour and a pleasant, gently spicy, faintly honeyed, floral nose with some ripe apple-melon notes. Fairly dry, medium-light bodied, gently spicy, bright, ripe, apple-melon fruit with a crisp, slightly minerally, fizzy finish. Ready-to-drink. It has 12% alcohol and 9 g/L residual sugar. |

TASTING NOTE: (70% Pinot Blanc, 30% Auxerrois.) Floral aromas sit on top of green apples and a juicy, mediumbodied palate that is backed up by fresh acidity and satisfying length. Score - 90 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2019) |
