Aubry Le Nombre d'Or Sable Blanc de Blancs Brut 2007

Chamomile, dried ginger, and candied tangerine peel lead the way on this uncommon four-varietal blend. Rich and textured at the core, it's kept in check by a taut, coiled acidity that prevents any drift toward heaviness. Pear skin and white peach flesh move across the palate, shading into spiced stone fruit as the finish lingers. Low dosage is the right call here, it keeps the wine honest and the focus sharp. Worth cellaring.
