Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Gorgeously composed and expressed, the elegantly complex bouquet shows white flesh nectarine, golden apple, oatmeal and lemon peel nuances, leading to a finely flowing palate that's creamy and delightfully textured. Beautifully framed by bright acidity, making it refreshing and hugely enjoyable.

This is made from the three classic Champagne varieties: Chardonnay, the dominant variety in this case, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. There’s so much to like about this sparkling wine. Initially on the nose, there’s a fairly typical wave of warm brioche, quince paste, crème brûlée and a final lick of citrus. The palate has developed nicely but not excessively, so it’s still rich and held by a fine acid precision, retaining its freshness and vibrancy. This is a first-rate sparkling wine.

Made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier. 36 months on lees prior to disgorging. The wine envelopes you in orchard apples, baked peach and grated lemon skin before diving into its edible autolysis delights. Roasted hazelnuts, sugared palmiers and butterscotch fingers.  It’s rich in flavour, persistence and with a direct line of refreshing acidity. Excellent value for a sparkling win that leads with fruit, beguiled with roasted nuts and ends with merry celebration. Could easily see you from start of meal to end but I would go for centre cut pork chops, browned butter and root vegetables for a wonderful way to showcase this Sparkling.
