點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：8554

The Brocard 2008 Saint-Bris Domaine Sainte Claire features lime, grapefruit, cherry, chalk and cherry pit notes that could easily have come from a Chablis Chardonnay. Its rather sublimated sense of Sauvignonness is revealed in hints of herbs and grasses. Bright and lean, invigorating and cleansing, this finishes with intense piquancy and tactile tenacity of citrus rind, chalk, salt, and cherry pit. It should perform well for at least 3-4 years. Enologist Nadine Gublin (also of Domaine Jacques Prieur) headed-up the Brocards’ 2008 efforts from start to finish, including a harvest that extended well into October, while Julien Brocard continues to up the percentage of acreage farmed biodynamically at this enormous property. (Tiny lady bugs and moons are scattered discreetly across the labels of those Brocard wines that issue from “bio” vineyards.) Due to time limitations, I did not taste the entire 2008 collection here, but every wine I tasted could be recommended and is included in this report.Imported by: Martine’s Wines, Novato, CA; tel.
