This shows dark fruit concentration

with a ruby red color and a bouquet marked by gorgeous aromas of bing cherry

and 5% Cabernet Franc

Jean Laurent Brut Blanc de Noirs 'La Griffe de l'Ource' 2008 brand_Fattoria La Valentina This shows dark fruit concentrationThis vintage Blanc de Blancs from grower Jean Laurent has all the magic Chardonnay has to give. Fruit with toasty backnotes, great structural minerality, and fine mousse. This textured wine shows tannins as well as ripe fruits. More than a decade on, it is still young, with a tight, taut character to balance the fruitiness.
