The 2009 Brut is a stunning and serious traditional method sparkler, made from decidedly untraditional grapes : L'Acadie, Chardonnay and Seyval. Hints of honey, citrus and mineral on the nose lead to a crisp and vibrant citrus and mineral-driven palate. Bone dry and shimmering with concentrated lime and grapefruit zest, stoney minerality and a well earned patina of lees and biscuit before melting into a lengthy finish. This wine has spent 3 years on the lees and was disgorged last August. We're talking benchmark Canadian bubble here, an ultra premium one, and yes - from Nova Scotia. Crisp, creamy and profound - the Brut is drinking fantastically now, but will continue to gain complexity in the years to come. Score - 92. (Treve Ring, winealign.com, July 2014) Show more
