Fine Disregard, Grenache, 2018 SO032126 Champagne Lively citrus and green apple

Lively citrus and green apple with chalky minerality

"Trias" is the Triassic geology beneath the vineyards but also the trio in the bottle: a Chardonnay-led blend with Petit Manseng and Incrocio Manzoni

This is serious Burgundy: not flashy

fortified with his own house-distilled Marc

and clay that produce some of Italy's finest Sauvignon Blanc

Fine Disregard, Grenache, 2018 SO032126 Champagne Lively citrus and green appleFine Disregard's broader Grenache bottling, made in the same minimalist spirit as everything from this tiny two person California outfit native yeast fermentation, neutral vessels, and a light touch meant to let the fruit and site show through.
