We enjoyed this sparkling Chardonnay with lunch at La Colombe. Fresh limes on the nose with a hint of bready brioche. More toasty brioche on the palate with gentle citrus fruit, a hint of apple. Good acid balance and a lively mousse and a long full flavoured finish
It was served with a seared scallop, perfectly
cooked, fresh and sweet with flavours of the sea, with some sticky melt in the
mouth char sui belly of pork, nice crisp pork crackling, pressed apple disk and
a cauliflower, apple and black forest ham velouté, topped with pea shoots. The
apple flavours in the Blanc de Blanc made this a very good pairing
Lynne bought John a case of the 2009 (A Platter 5 Star and winner of various other accolades) for his 70th and we still have a little for another special occasion. Expect to pay about R300 per bottle
