Product Details
This 100% Pinot Noir, traditionally-made sparkling wine was disgorged for this tasting (hence no label quite yet). It's wild fermented, aged on the lees in tanks for 24 months with a dosage of estate Chardonnay (5 g/L). It shows a light rosé colour and elegant bead in the glass followed by a nose of fresh red berries, red currants, lovely saline, brioche, flint and toasty notes. The palate reveals fresh picked raspberries, cherries, watermelon and toasty brioche with a rounded texture, elegant bubbles and length through the finessed finish. Can age this through 2030.
