WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Made from organic grapes sourced mainly from vineyards in Tupungato (Uco Valley) at an altitude of 1200 meters (4000 feet) above sea level, one of the highest points in Mendoza. Greenish yellow color with fine bubbles. The wine shows aromas of citrus, apple, and tropical fruits. On the palate, it unfolds green apple and tropical flavors as well as delicate hints of yeasts. Pair with seafood, fish, salmon and Asian dishes.
TASTING NOTES:
Domaine Bousquet's NV Brut Chardonnay - Pinot Noir is a blend of 75% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Noir from the Uco Valley and is made using the traditional bottle fermentation method. The attractive nose features lemon zest and green apple with hints of strawberry yoghurt and yeast. Ethereal in the mouth, the refined bubbles form a healthy mousse while the flavor is anchored in green apple. Toward the end, it’s yeasty with a dry, malic feel. This is a well-made wine. Drinking window: 2021 - 2023
