Barnaut Blanc de Noirs Brut Champagne Grand Cru Bouzy

Winemaker Notes: Coming from the grand cru village of Bouzy, with its reputation for powerful Pinot Noir, this Champagne has something of that concentration, but balances that with elegance, freshness and plenty of crisp acidity. Its fruitiness, laced with minerality, makes for a wine that is ready to drink.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Vinous - "Bright yellow. Ripe peach and pear scents are lifted by suggestions of Meyer lemon and smoky minerals. Fleshy and broad on the palate, offering bitter pear skin and peach pit flavors underscored by a gingery element. Shows very good clarity and thrust on the chewy finish, with the mineral and peach notes echoing. This Champagne has the heft and power to work with rich, strongly seasoned foods, even poultry."


Burghound - "Consistent with its blanc de noirs label, this displays hints of strawberry and raspberry on the attractively layered and moderately yeasty nose. There is good verve to the firmly effervescent, clean and slightly citrusy flavors that possess fine complexity if limited refinement on the very dry and crisp finish."
