2015 Champagne Dom Pérignon, Brut spirit Paul Draper - Winemaker -

Paul Draper - Winemaker - Ridge Vineyards

a bit of intensity and lovely tannins that harmoniously combine with an appealing acidity on the finish

even though it doesn't express itself that way

chiselled peat smoke then fresh orchard fruit and icing sugar showing with time

unctuous pleasing fruit notes of dark and blue fruit

2015 Champagne Dom Pérignon, Brut spirit Paul Draper - Winemaker -Although still quite closed, there are delightful savory notes on the nose, with some autolytic depth in the background and deep, stony mineral notes. This is extremely elegant on the palate: linear and fine, with ripe and toasty fruit. Though the richness is there, this has a huge amount of elegance too. Crisp acidity gives a fine and cleansing freshness on the long, toasty, mineral laden finish.
