Country: France / Cuvée Ernestine Brut
Variety: Champagne Blend Champagne
Winery: Veuve Doussot / Champagne
This is a rich, full-bodied Champagne showing hints of bottle age but mostly crisp, fresh apple and apricot flavors. It’s a ripe, fruity wine, from the southern vineyards in the Aube, but with a apple-skin astringency and brisk texture. Drink now–2019.
