Maison Brard Blanchard Organic V.S.O.P. Review
Made from Colombard, Ugni blanc, and Folle blanche grapes, and double distilled in old alembic stills, this V.S.O.P. from Maison Brard Blanchard is like dessert in a glass. While the nose leans on the bright side with wafts of apricots, honeysuckle, and candied ginger, the palate is rich and decadent, exuding notes of poached peaches and Chantilly cream.
