Bartier Bros. Brut NV
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIt has been a year since we last tasted this multi-vintage wine. It was showing well then, and with 12 more months of bottle time, it has added to its charm, pitching more complexity and length. The Bartier traditional method sparkling program has gone multi-vintage to begin using a small supply of reserve wines to bolster the house style. Disgorged initially in October 2022 with zero dosage, it is a chardonnay brut, fermented and aged four months in stainless before heading to bottle for 12 months. Green apples with juicy citrus electrify a peach and pear underside with creamy, toasty notes. I love the taut, linear lines and lemon peel finish. Oysters, anyone? Friendly, and fresh, and a lovely work in progress.Tasted: 01 June 2024Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $34.99 | 750ml | winery direct |
