Vantz Clippert: Brut Reserve
March 2nd, 2013 | Author: Michiel Demarey
[English] Made from 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay. Partly vinified in oak barrels. Remarkably light golden color with fine mousse and long lasting effervescence. The nose starts with florality: lavender, roses, jasmine blossom and acacia followed by coconut, white chocolate, candied fruits, confit d’oignons with pink pepper, citrus and pronounced ripe juicy pineapple. Secondary aromas of hay and myrrh. After some time in the glass, the wine is expressive with a striking oyster flavor. The aroma is very complex, you can dive deep into. On the palate we get retro-olfactory pineapple, ripe citrus, slightly notion of the wood and delicious minerality of limestone and oyster juice. The finale is remarkably long with torrefacted flavors of toast, nutmeg and light coffee. Delicious!
Rating: 88/100
