Charles Palmer Blanc de Blanc 2013
The first of two single varietal sparkling wines from Charles Palmer, this BdB is made from 100% Chardonnay that spent 3 years on the lees. Open aromas of baked apple and pear pudding with yellow plum and sweet brioche notes. The palate is a game of two halves; up front a zesty lemon zing and sweet honeyed stone fruit and apple pie. Then a bold, confident tangy green apple. Lots of power, though it feels like it is a little bit on the youthful side ride now.
