TASTING NOTES
This bubbly Blanc de Blanc Metodo Classico vintage 2019 is produced entirely from a selection of Chardonnay grapes growing at an altitude of 500 m above sea level on a marly limestone soil with a percentage of sand. The production of these 15-year-old vines is approximately 50 hectolitres per hectare. The manually harvested and selected bunches are pressed gently so as not to transfer the colour into the must from the Pinot Noir skins. The base wine is fermented in steel tanks at 14°C and then bottled and stacked for the second fermentation. A month of re-fermentation at a very low controlled temperature, 30 to 40 months of ageing on the lees and about 1 year of remuage give a straw-yellow wine with a fine and persistent perlage. The great olfactory complexity, with hints of rennet apple and jasmine, lemon blossom with a bread crust finish, are well balanced by an important structure on the palate with remarkable persistence.
