2009 Chandon Vintage Blanc de Blancs

This Blanc de Blancs sparkling pours with a good white creamy mousse that shows moderate hold. Very pale straw base wine colour with very fine bead showing excellent persistence. Nosing reveals aromas of pear, toast and citrus with a yeast lees overlay. The palate is quite dry with toasty citrus flavours dominate followed by some cashew and yeast lees. Very dry finish with moderately creamy mouthfeel. Aftertaste of citrus, yeasty toast like characters and cashew.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
