NV Waris-Hubert ‘Albescent’ Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs

WSI94+ It has the finesse and exceptional potential of the Chardonnay Grand Cru of Côte des Blancs. To the eye, a pale golden robe with discrete green highlights. The wine’s aromas announce its extreme purity, airy dimension and elegance. Timid at first. Then hazelnut and almond characterize the rich, creamy dimension of this cuvee. The mouthfeel is just as elegant as the aromas: one begins with lemon zest and white fruits’ aromas and tastes. Crystalline, with barley sugar accents, it highlights our preferred grape variety, Chardonnay. An excellent dinner and aperitif wine. 40+ year old vines. Wine is a blend of 2017 and 2018 vintages. 100% Chardonnay Grand Cru grapes.
