Louis Bouillot Perle Rare Brut Crémant de Bourgogne 2009

A relatively rare example of vintage-dated bubbly from Burgundy, this opens with exuberant apple, pear, floral, and citrus aromas and follows with good replays and a lip-smacking mineral element on the palate. A good choice for breaded chicken cutlets or fish. (VINTAGES panel, March 2014)
