The sparkling wine Arras Grand Vintage, vintage 2013 from the winery House of Arras has been rated in 2021 by Anne Krebiehl MW with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Noir from the region Tasmania in Australia.
Fresh Amalfi lemon zest and more generous notes of lemon pastry, leaning towards mirabelle plum with more air. The palate then reveals a superfine, elegant mousse with more soft lemon and mirabelle notes, along with a lovely backbone of slightly bitter lemon zest. The wine is lean but supple, taut but ready to offer more of those slightly salty but exquisite lemon notes. Still a closed wine, but very elegant and subtle. Wonderful.
