Taittinger Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne 2011Varietal: Chardonnay

with initial stone fruit aromatics

however the Dangin’s vineyard practices go a bit further than just simple organics

one that made me smile at the glory of Champagne

35 years old

unwinding to reveal notes of green pear

this is stunning

A big wine that seems light as a feather

amongst a fractured mixture of sandstone sown with fossilized oyster shells

and a 49-acre estate vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley AVA

A more fitting name as this beautiful site is in fact an ancient sea field of diverse marine soils broken down from bedrock dating back between 66 and 200 million years

Varietal: Cabernet Franc

Varietals: 25% Cabernet Sauvignon
