Graham Beck Blanc de Blancs Brut 1993
Hand selected and whole bunch pressed. Only cuv?e juice is taken for fermentation. 50% of the base wine was fermented in classic Piece Champenoise barrels (205 litres) for 10 weeks. After fermentation, blended and bottled for secondary fermentation in bottle. Left on lees for 12 years and especially disgorged for this year’s auction. Tasting Note: Beautiful lime green colour, warm, rich, biscuity aromas from the extended lees contact time. Elegant mousse with amazing freshness and interesting nutty finish. A truly unique expression of Chardonnay.
