Wine Details
Price:
$29.00 per bottle
Description:
This wine is a blend of 57% Chardonnay and 43% Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay grapes were hand picked on October 1st and the Pinot Noir on October 3rd. The grapes were handled and pressed - as whole clusters - as gently as possible. A slow fermentation was achieved by keeping the juice at cool temperatures (60°F) in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation was strictly avoided to keep the wine’s lively acidity. The wine was blended and then aged for eight months prior to clarification and filtration. In June 2001, the wine was bottled and went through its second fermentation (Méthode Champenoise). After three years of aging, it was hand riddled and disgorged, with a dosage added of 9.0 grams per liter (brut).
