Pacific Echo Brut (75cl, 12%)

Pacific Echo Brut is a méthode champenoise sparkling wine from Mendocino County, California, bottled at 12% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Produced under the ownership of Champagne Louis Roederer S.A., it blends roughly two-thirds Pinot Noir with one-third Chardonnay. It undergoes traditional méthode champenoise and 100% malolactic fermentation. The nose shows toasty aromas, brioche, orchard fruit and subtle spice. The palate is crisp and dry, with citrus and green apple giving way to spicy stone fruit, lively mousse-like effervescence and a note of licorice, with round, creamy mid-palate weight. The finish is clean and crisp, with moderate length, lingering tartness and faint toasty warmth.
