Description

2014 Champagne Siret Frère & Sœur: Blanc de BlancsA beautifully vinous style is obvious from first glance (golden flecks) and nose. Abundant intensity of lemon tart, roasted apple and apricot kernel notes are accented with brioche complexity from lees. A preserved lemon tartness rasps through the core of the wine, adding freshness and energy. A very linear acidic line maintains wonderful focus on this beautifully elegant Blanc de Blancs. (20% oak maturation on the vin clair).

The philosophy of the Domaine revolves around careful

newly turned earth and a whiff of smoked game

As so very often

And a very long finish

although the finish just needs more flesh and body since it seems to attenuate

with electric energy

Chenin Blanc and Muscat d’Alexandria

almond shavings

but all the 2018s are nicely concentrated and classically proportioned

Well-mannered and discreet

concentrated nose

There is also fine backbone here and a beautifully composed finish full of finesse
