YUM - body, oak, floral, so refreshing! — 5 years ago
Pre Thanksgiving meal champagne and it’s one of my favorite. Nice vanilla and starfruit notes on the nose. Upfront it’s like an orange starburst and finishes with some candied ginger. The aftertaste is nicely acidic and dry, hanging on the palate like a mild grapefruit. I love raiding the in-law’s wine cellar! — 6 years ago

5 years old and this is pretty fresh and bright. Ripe peaches and marshmallow. Pairs well with Cowgirl Red Hawk, the stinky cheese seems to bring out some light sweetness. Great stuff. — 7 years ago
We tasted a lot of wines in #montalcino and this is the bottle we bought to take home with us. Delicious and generous. #brunello ANNUAL PRODUCTION:
30.000/35.000 bott.
PRODUCTION AREA:
The vineyards are in the hills of Montalcino, at different heights and with a sun exposure until sunset. The age of the vineyards from which we select the grapes destined to produce Brunello is more than 20 years. Average altitude of the vineyards: 250 mt s.l.m.
SOIL:
Tuffaceous clay, very rich in fossils.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Large Sangiovese 100%.
TRAINING SYSTEM:
bilateral and balanced cordon.
DENSITY FOR HECTARE:
5.500
PRODUCTION SYSTEM:
The vineyards are subject to thinning of bunches, the average criteria is, in good vintages, three bunches of five stay on. The grapes thus obtained are further selected in the cellar, where they are processed according to the old tradition. It proceeds to intense extraction in the early stages of fermentation, followed by long quiescent maceration on the marc; the maximum temperature is raised up to 33 °C and maintained at high values until the racking. The ageing in wood lasts 36 months in oak barrels from Slavonia hl 17.50. It follows bottle ageing for 12 months far beyond the mandatory minimum of four months from production regulations. — 6 years ago
Private Collection. Keeping 5 year plus. — a year ago
I don’t know this house. They make Cordon Bleu—brut, extra brut, rosé, also a higher level called Princes, and their grand marque is Louis XV, also making a high end Vinotèque from older stock. House was founded in 1837 in Epernay. This is the only one I’ve had, a Cordon Bleu brut. And w 20 years on it, it’s pretty good juice. — 4 years ago
