Experience Surrealist with Jean-Charles Boisset
Tasting Notes
This radiant sparkling wine from the 2016 Carneros vintage exudes both freshness and complexity, enhanced by extended lees aging and late disgorgement for exceptional depth. The nose is elegant and layered, offering wild strawberry compote intertwined with candied citrus peel, honeysuckle, and a delicate saline minerality. The late disgorgement refines the mousse, delivering a silky, persistent effervescence, while the finish is long, vibrant, and laced with chalky minerality and citrus zest. A masterful expression of Carneros terroir, seamlessly blending richness and freshness.
The Experience of Contrasting Worlds
The Story
The Surrealist by JCB portrays the experience of contrasting worlds: celebrating tradition and modernity, the real and the imagined, the past and the future, the consciousness of the self and the other, the inner and the outer worlds Surrealism is the passage from one state to another, while also representing, for wine, the two facets of wine, the two colors of wine, the personalities of all our senses, the evocation of transformation, and the notion that time and space is limitless thanks to the elixir of freedom!
