Charles Duret Brut Crémant de Bourgogne

[translated from the French] A very old Nuits-Saint-Georges brand revived by Moingeon. A blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Gamay, this sparkling wine is a pale gold colour animated by fine and persistent bubbles. The nose of white flowers and citrus becomes lively on the palate, and is then balanced by a full and long finish of granny apple and exotic fruits. A sparkling wine to enjoy as an aperitif before plum pie baked in a salt crust. Score - 1 Stars (out of 3 (Very well-made wine)). (Guide Hachette, 2010)
