Loimer, Niederösterreich (Austria) Sekt Blanc de Blancs “Langenlois Grosse Reserve” Brut Nature NV ($50)

Bone dry as expected with the Brut Nature designation, this wine shows aromas of baked bread crust, soft white flowers and soft citrus fruit. There’s pulsing acidity on the palate, with a creamy mousse that carries lemon, lime, green apple and wet stone character. 36 months on the lees makes it quite long, with the toasty notes really coming on in the finish. This is fabulous! Contains 60% Chardonnay, 36% Pinot Blanc and 4% Pinot Gris.
