A very brief tasting in the Barnaut shop whilst en route to Camille Saves. A little underwhelming - nothing wrong, but felt that many other wines we tasted were better at the same or lower prices.
1. Grande Reserve Brut
2/3 Pinot Noir, 1/3 Chardonnay. 6g of sugar/litre
Have seen some people online complaining about tired samples from bottles which had clearly been open too long. No such problems here - this was a freshly opened bottle. Crisp acid, lots of lemon. An aperitif-style wine. Well balanced and elegant. Very pleasant, but the Jean-Baptiste Martin was better at the same price.
2. Cuvee Edmond Vintage 2007
40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Meunier.
Much deeper colour than the previous wine. This tastes too young - finish way too sour. Needs time.
