Late Disgorged Methode Traditionnelle 2012

The 2012 vintage was one of the finest in this decade. This cuvee was allowed to age for an extended period on lees to further enhance its intensity and breadth of expression. Displaying a freshness and vitality of bead and mousse that defy its extended ageing. A traditional blended, it features a bouquet of cider apples, wood sorrel, rockmelon, white flowers and frangipane tart. The Pinot Noir elements come to the fore adding richness and width to the saline and oyster shell line of the Chardonnay. The extended ageing ‘sur lie’ has conferred weight and texture with crème anglais richness. Complimented with roasted chestnut mealiness carries to the finish by a defined backbone of acidity.
