hints of red fruit

plum and grilled herbs are front and center

Still a little tight and chewy

it's refreshing and has a core of minerality and super fine tannins with pungent flavors

This is a fascinating Champagne whose dusty/mineral purity reminds me of steely lean Chablis

2022 | Monte Rio Cellars River's Edge Sangiovese | Lodi Champagne Chartogne-Taillet hints of red fruitThis wine is deep, with aromas of blackberry compote, pomegranate, clove, amber, maple, and notes of orange blossom on the nose. The flavors on the palate are lingonberry, raspberry, layered with dried chicory, orange peel, earth, and a dry silky finish. Decant and Enjoy. 94 Pts Wine Enthusiast
