Zuccardi’s 2005 Blanc de Blancs is made from 100% Chardonnay using the Champagne method and aged sur lie for 58 months. Medium straw-colored with a steady stream of small bubbles, it offers up an enticing bouquet of brioche, pear, quince, and spring flowers. On the palate cereal and biscuit notes add complexity to the creamy texture, leading to a refreshing finish. It is an outstanding value in sparkling wine.
