Magenta

"A plush texture and delicate, creamy flavors, make this Champagne hard to resist. It has bright, light notes of lemon, apple, toast and vanilla and a pillow-soft mouthfeel. More subtleties emerge on the fruit-filled, long finish. Very exotic and rich, showing a classic, complex style. Another AWM discovery and exclusive, this small production house comes through our Charles de Cazanove connection in Epernay. The Lombarda family makes this classically styled Champagne (30% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier) in a fruit-driven, delicately toasty style. Along with a nice mélange of ripe citrus, mineral and red berry notes, this well-balanced, bright and intensely flavored wine ends with richness." [Asheville Wine Market] Happy birthday Huschang!
