Chandon California Brut Classic NV

California, United StatesThe house style is all about fruit as in apples and pears although the palate is dry and spicy. The weight and mouthfeel comes from the reserve component that fluctuates between 10 and 20 per cent each year. Look for bits of baked apple and pear with creamy, toasty notes and good acidity. The finish is dry and slightly nutty. The winery recommends salty, creamy, or nutty foods such as Caesar salad, fried calamari, oysters, or fresh sashimi and sushi. The blend is 51/43/4/2/ pinot noir, chardonnay, pinot meunier and pinot blanc.Tasted: 19 December 2008Tasted by: Prices:
