NV 13th Street Traditional Method Blanc de Blanc

Fresh, bright, precise and directional. This wine doesn’t disappoint! Exactly what you can expect from a traditional method. Winemaker Jean-Pierre Colas has brought some of the Old World to this wine from his original home in Chablis. A fine and tenacious mousse highlights this wine, which can rival some well known Champagnes at a quarter of the price. The nose is floral with citrus fruits and a hint of freshly baked pastry and almond cookie. The palate delivers a zing of green apple, lime, and a little burst of apricot brings softness on the mid-palate. A noticeable flinty minerality plays a great role in the texture of this wine, which makes it much more serious than what the price suggests. (July 7, 2024).
