Bailly Lapierre Vive-la-Joie Brut Crémant de Bourgogne 2014

This blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is produced close to the vineyards of Chablis in northern Burgundy. The wine has crisp fruit that is tangy and still totally fresh. Acidity contrasts well with the creamy mousse. Drink now. 12% ABV.

To the eye, a very bright, a pale golden colour. On the nose it is complex, with aromas of biscuit, ripe stone fruit, scents of delicate blossom and sweet almonds. In the mouth there is great purity and depth, with a subtle mineral touch and remarkable length. Well-balanced and substantial.
