Cremant de Limoux Domaine J Laurens Les Graimenous tete de cuvee 2005

Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Mauzac are used to make this wine, only the best wines are released as vintages and they can last well too. An exceptional wine - a tete de cuvee - upon which the reputation of the Domaine J Laurens is built. This wine is produced by carefully blending the four varieties required by the appellation : Mauzac, Chardonnay ,Chenin and Pinot. The production is carried out according to the Traditional Method with strict quality control and selection at each stage. Producing a floral sparkling with finess and a gentle lingering finish. Coup de Couer Winner in the 2007 Guide Hachette and a Jancis Robinson "Wine of the Week" October 2007. "This full-flavoured, dry sparkling wine is great value in terms of pleasure per pound/dollar/euro and pleasure per sip: a snip at between £7.50 and £9 in the UK and also available in a few places in the US and the rest of Europe it's a blend of 60% Chardonnay, 30% Chenin, 5% Mauzac and 5% Pinot Noir and made by the traditional method, ie the second fermentation takes place in the bottle and the wine gathers up those lovely additional yeasty brioche flavours by resting for more than a year on the yeast lees before the sediment is removed. As soon as you put your nose in the glass you are hit by the deliciously inviting aromas of freshly baked apples and cream, with brioche and a lovely undertow of lemon, then more apples and citrus aromas as the wine opens up and the bubbles calm down. In fact, although the bubbles are perfectly respectable, they don?t last that long. What it lacks in length it makes up for in fullness of flavour and sheer pleasure. In the mouth, the flavours are quite broad, full of fresh apples spiked with citrus, yet there?s very good freshness too. Mouthfilling and just a touch creamy to balance the acidity. There's a feast of bottle-fermented flavours and a slight softness that should appeal to those who enjoy the complexity of champagne but find it just a little too crisp, yet it still has a palate-cleansing freshness to finish. Delicious on its own, and all too easy to quaff (just 12% alcohol), I think it would go very well with fish in many guises, including fish and chips" JR 30/10/2007.
