Harvest Information
Winemaking
This Méthode Cap Classique is made from whole bunch pressed Chardonnay, where part of the blend is fermented in old oak, and the other in stainless steel tanks. The must was fermented between 14˚ – 17˚C. After six months of barrel maturation, the wine was blended for bottling. The wine spent 18 months on the lees after secondary fermentation took place, before disgorging.
Winemaker's Note
Lively, fine mousse with hints of fresh citrus aromas on the nose with nuances of lightly toasted brioche. These flavours combine seamlessly with classic richness and finely balanced acidity.
Cellaring
This wine has good aging potential but is ready to be enjoyed.
