Bailly-Lapierre, Vive la Joie, Crémant de Bourgogne, 2009
90
Tasted by:
(at Decanter's Great Sparkling Exploration 2017, Church House, London, 07 Jun 2017)
Matured for around 10 months in stainless steel before spending a further 36 months on its lees in bottle. The result is a complex and intense wine with a zesty but creamy mouthfeel. Citrus, vanilla and wood open up to reveal intense green apple, nut and sweet spice undertones.
