Beaufort, André 2009 Champagne Polisy Blanc de Noirs Brut

(This wine arrives 12/10) 2009, says Jancis Robinson: "After early complications a superb summer produced a clean crop of high quality, with particularly good Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims. Wines are plump and approachable." The Beaufort Polisy Brut Reserve shows subtle aromas of white fruits and creamy lemon with hints of spice and herbs, the palate is round and ripe with pear, citrus, almond, spice, anise...  The finish is long and creamy with complex spice and mineral notes. The mousse is soft and delicate as with most of the Beaufort wines. This is a great Burgundy that's masquerading as Champagne  (note from the Brut Reserve bottling disgorged in 2023) The 2009 Brut was disgorged in March of 2024.
