Champagne Fumey Tassin Futur Antérieur Brut 2009
Champagne, FranceMade only in exceptional years, Futur Antérieur blends 40% Pinot Noir and 60% Pinot Blanc with a porton of perpetual reserve wines, from 30 year old vines planted in Celles-Sur-Ource, in the Aube region of southern Champagne. After a ferment in stainless, this spent at least 8 years on lees prior to disgorgement with 8g/L RS. Red apple, brioche, green pear ride a bed of lees, along with a raft of acidity holding this mature wine fresh on the lingering finish.Tasted: 03 December 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $65.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
