Barton & Guestier Patriarche Pere & Fils Cremant de Bourgogne Brut NV, France

There’s a lovely lift and complexity led by scents of lees and fruit spice then apple and white stone fruits, then a layer of grapefruit-like citrus. A complete wine on the nose. An equally lovely wine on the palate with plush textures from the mousse and core white fleshed fruits, the acid line delivers a saline quality, an earthy white stone quality and baked goods flavours. Well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2029.
