Alfred Basely Brut, Champagne, France NV Bodegas Alvear blackcurrants

blackcurrants

compelling wine with the classic Pauillac nose more often associated with its cross-street neighbor

The wine has off-the-charts massiveness and intensity but never comes across as heavy

and is therefore only found in Nishide’s sakes

Exclusivity of vintages

Alfred Basely Brut, Champagne, France NV Bodegas Alvear blackcurrantsStraw colored, aromas of white flowers and citrus blackberries (lemon), enriched with some mineral notes, yeast and fresh bread. Creamy, biscuit accents and lightly buttered, with a hint of peach and stone fruits. The perceptible dosage in no way obscures the general freshness of the wine. The finish is quite long and clean. First class aperitif, dry and elegant.
