Blomidon Crémant Méthode Traditionelle 2016
Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, CanadaThe Crémant is a cornerstone of the Blomidon portfolio, and the base from which the Blanc de Noirs, Blanc de Blancs, and Brut Reserve sprung. 2016 blends 61 seyval blanc, 24 l'acadie blanc and 15 chardonnay, with one year on the lees before bottling. Lovely, as ever, with searing, stony acidity tempered by green apple, pear skin, lemon, on a tight, bright palate, with a dosage of 8 g/l, which barely keeps pace with the natural Atlantic acidity. A chalkiness grips the lingering finish. Savoury, serious and smashable fizz.Tasted: 23 December 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:NS | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
