2019 Willamette Valley Cremant Review

This college football season has equated to popping the cork on a bottle of Sparkling. With tonight’s game between GA and TCU, I had to continue the season’s tradition! A couple of weeks ago, I visited Domaine Divio and was greeted with a glass of the 2019 Willamette Valley Cremant. This is quite nice with a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, especially for a Monday night of Championship football. However, what I find most intriguing is the steady concentration of bubbles from the center of the glass. For the mid-palate, this Sparkling shows a spectacular balance between the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with a slight twinge on the Pinot Noir side of the house, showing how robust and the age-worthy potential this Cremant has. For the finish, you have to pay extra special attention to the slightest bit of a tannin structure sneaking in behind the Chardonnay. I enjoy the structure and will be holding on to the other bottle of this for years to come! 👇 👇 👇 👇 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 Would you like to get a Saturday morning email to read with your coffee giving you insider tips on events, news, and an in-depth perspective on a winery?
