Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois tasting in London

floral and spicy

elegant tannins support great finesse and general harmony that presage the rich complexity of evolution

Dense tannins are balanced by equally rich fruit in this wine

namely Pinot Gris and Pinot Auxerrois with some of the Pinot Gris coming from the amazing Grand Cru Kaefferkopf vineyard for added complexity

Maria Rigol Ordi Gran Reserva Cava, Catalonia, Spain 2014 Auxey-Duresses Tasted at the Cru BourgeoisBrilliant straw yellow in the glass, with a subtle and long lasting perlage. On the nose, the initial hints of peach, apricot and apple are followed by herbaceous nuances of rosemary and thyme, as well as hints of toasted bread crust. The sip is fresh and vertical, pleasantly savory and with excellent persistence.
