]]>New to the Wine List!http://www.lunaredslo.com/blog/2012/10/9/new-to-the-wine-list.htmlLunaRed2012-10-10T03:21:57Z2012-10-10T03:21:57ZBlanc de Blancs Ruinart Champagne, Aria Pinot Noir Brut Sparkling Wine, Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque 2004

Tasting Notes

Blanc de Blancs Ruinart Champagne:

This latest creation from the historical Maison Ruinart, non-vintage Blanc de Blancs made from Chardonnay grapes is sensational.  Presented in a bottle that is the exact replica of the 18th century Ruinart champagne bottle, the superb golden yellow liquid glimmers enticingly through the clear glass.  Irresistable and seductive, the champagne has a clean, intense first nose followed by warm rich notes of brioche, honey and roasted almonds with sweet lemony overtones.

 

Aria Pinot Noir Brut Sparkling Wine:

Pale, bright raspberry pink, with an abundant, uninhibited mousse. Intense raspberry aromas, backed by strawberry and aniseed, and a hint of cherry caramel. Red berry flavors dominate the palate, complemented by strawberry, touches of peach, watermelon and lemon. There is a lovely minerality which adds to the complexity, and just a hint of sweetness.

 

Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque 2004:

All the lightness of white floral notes: hawthorn blossom, linden blossom and white clover. A fresh, stylish wine with good structure, silky and elegant, based on the mineral notes of the best Chardonnay Grand Crus. The floral, fruity notes give way to subtle spicy hints for a pleasant finish on the palate.
