Paul Etienne Saint Germain Divine Grand Cru Champagne NV

This wine is 60% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and 40% Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs.  They use 10% reserve wines in the blend in this cuvee from the 2004 and 2005 vintages.  Rich toasty almonds and hazelnuts with candied orange peel and lemon zest to the nose wet stone like minerals, soda and flinty aromas.  Smooth and creamy with vanilla and that nutty toasty flinty aromas from the nose showing up on the finish, very long the tongue tingling with mineral and ginger spice.
