Racines, Sainte Rose Pinot Noir Brut Zero An unusually spicy and appealinglyProprietary name. One third whole bunch. This blend follows the US model of barrel selection. So this is from the best barrels or rather the ones that go together best. 3,000 bottles produced. A little more tension than the regular bottling and really very nice. Ripe but not sweet. (JR)
