I certify that I am of legal ageThis Blanc de Blancs is made out of a Chardonnay blend from different villages and different vintages, aged (before bottling) with the technique of a perpetual reserve, or “Solera”.
- Solera: It consists in a wine reserve in stainless-steel tank from which 25% is taken out each year to constitute 75% of this Blanc de Blancs. The year’s new Chardonnays come replace the wine taken out. This “Solera” was started in 2016 on a beginning base of the 4 preceding vintages.
- Year’s wine: The Chardonnay selection from the latest harvest. One part is to complete the other 25% of this cuvée, the other part goes to refilling the 25% taken out from the Solera.
Optimal serving temperature is between 6 and 8°C (43 to 46°F).
COLOUR: Lemon yellow with silver highlights.
NOSE: Very pleasant, with hints of toast and almond opening up to fruitier aromas such as yellow stone fruit (peach, apricot, nectarine), citrus fruit (squeezed orange, zest) and a floral touch (elderberry, lime blossom).
PALATE: Very smooth, fresh and mineral. Fruit aromas (yellow peach, orange, lemon) and notes of vanilla, hazelnut and toast coat your palate. The finish is very floral.
