Background

A blend of 50% estate-sourced Chardonnay fruit and 50% Cote des Blanc Grand Cru Chardonnays from the 1999 vintage, famous for its bumper crop of healthy, perfectly ripe grapes. Manual picking, whole-cluster pressing, alcoholic fermentation at 16 C. Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aging sur lattes in traditional chalk cellars.

Tasting Notes

Golden yellow tones shimmering with green highlights accenutate a constant stream of lively, delicate bubbles. The nose opens on deep aromas of candied citrus mixed with scents of white peaches, Granny Smith apples, ginger and lime-flower. The palate shows a lovely delicacy, evolving towards a balance of roundness and power; lively and mature on the attack with chalky, lemony notes underlining a mineral quality that is offset by a suggestion of almonds, nectarines and bergamot.
