Hebrart 'Rive Gauche Rive Droite' Grand Cru Extra Brut, Champagne, France 2016 Katsuyama Shuzo and although it's not etherealThis chiseled Champagne is absolutely mouthwatering, deftly knitting that bright frame with a fine bead, a chalky undertow and rich and expressive aromas and flavors. Fragrant hints of ground cardamom, lime blossom and ground coffee accent creamed pear, grilled nut, cassis and pickled ginger flavors, ending with a long, creamy finish.
