So delicate, so light, so biscuity in the aroma, so dry and tingling and refreshing and beguiling, and all that champagne is. And so softly pink. We had it at a little party, along with the little old- fashioned pecan muffins called "marguerites." My, but it did slip right down.
Retail: about $60
Champagne Henriot, Reims
Ever tried Franciacorta Saten? I think it's similar to the wine you're describing. It's very creamy and yeasty, and not as sweet as other kinds of Franciacorta. Terranova imports it.
ReplyDeleteFranciacorta is new to me. I'll have to do some looking-up.
