On the palate it is fresh and intensely fruity
This should have a long and positive development in bottle
the Paillard NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is superbly fresh
and the tannin of Cabernet to craft a wine that is almost Burgundian in its silky mouth feel
The clear sake is separated from the fermenting rice lees by putting it into canvas bags and allowing the sake to drip out overnight (as opposed to pressing it)
2018 | Domaine Belle Hermitage Blanc | Rhône White Wine On the palate it isA 60 40 blend of Marsanne and Roussanne from Plat, the 2018 Hermitage Blanc is a powerhouse white Hermitage. Barrel fermented and aged in two thirds new oak, it's full bodied, rich and broad, loaded with honeyed notes of pear, melon and citrus yet comes across as balanced, with a long, refreshing finish. Tasted blind on another occasion, I liked it less, finding it slightly tropical and confected and shorter on the finish, but otherwise similar 97 Pts
