Pierre Brigandat

NV  

100% Pinot Noir. Hand harvested per appellation requirements from the villages of Les Riceys, Channes and Buxeuil. Fermented and stored in enameled steel tanks. Three years aging sur latte. ---- Our favorite recent bubbly find, this is a remarkable 100% Pinot Noir wine that drinks with a beautiful citric brightness, making it a particularly excellent aperitif bottle. "Pale straw color with a copper hue and young vivid mousseux. The nose displays ripe pear, peach and some red berry notes with a hint of fresh butter. Bone dry palate, a crisp acidity underneath, rather mellow creaminess, ripe fruit with an emphasis on darker Pinot flavors with a good grip and a long lingering finish." - 91 points, Andreas Larsson
