Description

A very clear pale lemon colour which helps to highlight the elegant and persistent mousse.

Fresh, clean aromas of green apple, stonefruit and citrus with obvious bready and mineral notes. A real invitation to put the wine in your mouth.

A strong flavour ‘attack’ showing a vibrant marriage of fruit and yeast influences. The firm and fresh acidity provides balance and persistence of flavour through to a long clean finish.

Hand-picked from selected low-yielding vines. Early harvest to limit the aromatic fruit level and ‘trap’ the firm acidity necessary for this style.

Stainless steel (primary) fermentation at elevated temperatures. Fermented (primary and in-bottle)with a special strain of Champagne yeast. 100% malo-lactic fermentation. 36 months on yeast in bottle (tirage). Riddled by hand and manually disgorged at de la terre. Zero dosage (no sugar addition) at disgorging. Estate bottled, hand-labelled, very small production of 880 bottles, individually hand-numbered.
