Winemaking and Maturation
This elegant and distinctive Méthode Cap Classique is made in the classic French tradition from two noble varietals, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It is a blend of 40% Pinot Noir and 60% Chardonnay. The grapes were hand-picked. After whole bunch pressing with minimal skin contact, the clear grape juice was left to settle before it was pumped into steel tanks for cold fermentation.
Part of the wine was fermented in four-year-old barrels and completed malolactic fermentation. After the first fermentation and malolactic fermentation, the wine was prepared for secondary fermentation in the bottle.
The wine was left on the lees for approximately 28 months before the sediment was removed in the traditional process of remuage and dégorgement.
Tasting Notes
The fine persistent mousse displays aromas of pear, Granny Smith apples, citrus and light yeasty notes. A foamy mouth-feel with delicate toasty notes. The Chardonnay imparts citrus, stone fruit and tropical nuances whilst the Pinot Noir provides notes of sweet glazed red cherries. It has a long, lingering, crisp, fresh finish.
