Wine Review: Decoy Brut Cuvée

I am all about the bubbles!  I do not need an occassion or celebration.   I was so excited to happen upon Decoy Brut Cuvee.

This is the DEBUT for Decoy Brut Cuvée.  It is a blend of 49% Pinot Noir, 47% (Napa Valley) Chardonnay and 4% Pinot Meunier.  Crafted in the methodé  champenoise tradition. Dosage with French oak. Barrel fermented.


Winemaker's Notes:  An enticing sparkling wine that offers alluring layers of baked apple, white peach and orange zest, as well as aromatic hints of honeysuckle and vanilla.  On the palate, a delicate sweetness is perfectly balanced by bright acidity, which adds poins and energy to the lush, pure fruit flavors.

Winemaker's Notes say it all - layering of flavors.  VERY enjoyable.  The only downside for me is the bubbles dissipated quickly.  However, inspite of this I do recommend this wine. This would be perfect relaxing on the deck with a charcuterie board!  If you need some charcuterie inspriation refer to my post of April 23, 2018.

I purcashed this at TFM Huguenot (alas my store does not have it, but can order it for you) for $19.99.
