IRIS VINEYARDS Brut Blanc de Noirs 'Areté' 2018

While this Champagne Method wine spent 14 months on lees it displays more fruit than autolytic characteristics, and it does so beautifully. A bit coy on the nose, revealing mostly butter and mineral notes, the palate delivers rose, red fruit, yellow apple, butter, minerality, and a balance of crisp and creamy resulting in a smooth clean finish.
