Domaine Borgnat 2003 Cuvée Brut Pinot Noir (Crémant de Bourgogne)
Attractively mature, this is more wine than Crémant, with its rich character. The blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay gives a complex style. The acidity is there, but it backs up ripe fruit, with touches of toast and of pear skins.

$30
A blend of Pinot Noir with César, an ancient variety of the region west of Chablis. This gives a slightly foxy character to the wine, the tannins smoky and tight. It is definitely firm, with red berries and good amounts of acidity.

Very light, this is full of fresh raspberry with a sharp acidity. Ready to drink.
