Domaine, Y. Clerget Brut Zero while the Vecchie Viti is(from a purchase of fruit). A much more sauvage suffused nose speaks of dark berries, plum, earth and soft but perceptible wood influence. There is both good intensity and volume to the caressing medium bodied flavors that possess an interesting texture that is borderline chalky, all wrapped in a youthfully austere and moderately firm finale.
