2019 Blanc de Noirs Remi Le Gavroche Bar Tasting

Tasting Note

A rose gold hue and nose of sweet Russet apples. A mouth-filling palate of summer fruits with a long, zesty, saline, plum compôte finish.

Da Terra Blanc de Noirs Food Pairing

FOOD PAIRING

This vintage pairs exquisitely with lamb or charcuterie, or strawberries and cream. With winter in mind, why not try baked ham with cranberry sauce or roast duck with all the trimmings.

Chosen by the Masters

“Appealing gold colour with fine bubbles. The nose is charming and attractive. Lots of red fruits going on, from strawberry, raspberry and redcurrants to cherry Griotte. The wine shows a stony minerality. The palate is really refreshing, with a sharp and clean acidity but as well a certain roundness in the mouth. A glass calls another!” Remi Cousin, Sommelier, Le Gavroche

“Big bubbles! A smoky and smouldering nose, a weighty and smouldering wine. Voluminous. Oranges, lime and stone. Beautifully ripe acidity sculpted into a curve. Rathfinny know how to deliver broad power with a burnish of magnificence.” 17 points. Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com

Vintage

The 2019 growing season got off to an early start and despite the ever-present risk of late spring frost, we were hopeful for a repeat of 2018. We experienced record breaking temperatures during late July and a very warm August, but a wet end to September and October. The fruit survived and produced some lovely wines, despite the soggy picking conditions.
