Vinefication

10% was barrel fermented. Kept on the lees for 8 months. The wine is then bottled and laid down for 24 months. After the second fermentation the wine is riddled by hand in riddling racks for a period of 3 weeks and will then be disgorged. (a minimum dosage is added to rectify acid and sugar balance). The wine will stay on the cork for 9 months before release.

Winemaker's Comments

This elegant Methode Cap Classique has a strong yeasty nose and a faint lemon scent. It is a white crispy wine with a creamy complexity on the palate. A wine with great finesse. To be enjoyed as a
aperitif with oysters, or as a refreshing welcoming drink and is also very complementary to seafood.
