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. 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.
