Pacalet & Lapierre Julienas Cousins 2017 Bottle:12 Cook’s California Champagne is produced

Cook’s California Champagne is produced at the Mission Bell Winery in Madera

Each lot is fermented and aged separately in our cellar until just prior to bottling when we carefully blend these lots together to achieve wines of balance with layers of complex flavors

but is better described as a slightly sharp plum and apricot wine note

honeyed finish with crème brulee notes

that sounds pretty good

Pacalet & Lapierre Julienas Cousins 2017 Bottle:12 Cook’s California Champagne is producedThis is a deep ruby colored wine that combines aromas of violet flowers, raspberries and spices.. It shows an impressive structure and also a good concentration of fruit on the palate. This is an age worthy Beaujolais that could be put aside for a few years.
