    Le Sousa Cuvée des Caudalies Avize Les Pierres Vaudons (Sparkling white) 2012 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Darker lemon gold. Complex aromas of spice, fresh bread and butter, honey and cream, floral notes with rich red fruit, cinnamon and cloves. Beautifully rich, aromatic and oaky. On the palate a beautiful balance of acidity, crisp, elegant, delicate and restrained with powerful and concentrated weight or ripe fruit, crunchy green apples and spice and a chalky, citrus, saline finish. A fascinating combination of aromatic intensity with structural elegance and daintiness. There is so much more to this wine that decanting in advance would reveal even more complexity.
