Black Hills Brut Sparkling

The wine has a classic Champagne cuvée: 59% Chardonnay, 41% Pinot Noir. The wine matured eight months in stainless steel and neutral oak and then spent 40 months in bottle on lees before being disgorged. This elegant wine begins with aromas of citrus mingled with brioche. This is echoed on the palate. The wine has a bright, crisp finish. The fine mousse persists in the glass. [Enjoy for another 5+ years.] Score – 95. (John Schreiner, johnschreiner.blogspot.com, Sept. 16, 2022)
