Amazing Aspasie

Champagne NV, Brut Prestige
Ariston et Fils "Aspasie"
$35
Jen’s Notes

Do I say this about every Champagne I drink? Quite possibly, but this time it is true. The Aspasie might be the best Champagne we have ever had. Certainly, it is one of the extreme few that Shane and I loved equally. It is a beautiful rose-gold color, gently bubbly, and bowls you over with scents and tastes of fresh raspberries. On the palate, this Champagne is quite fruity, with zesty, juicy raspberries and perhaps the barest hint of orange. The finish is quite long. We suspect there is a lot of Pinot Noir in this one. Absolutely delicious and a superlative value.
