Simonsig Cuv?e Ch?ne Blanc de Blancs 2007
Our premium Chardonnay block was harvested in mid-January and only the most gentle whole bunch pressed cuv?e was fermented in seasoned French oak. Three barrels were selected after extensive tastings and matured for 15 months. Bottling was followed by 48 months on the yeast before disgorging with very low dosage. Tasting Notes: Light golden colour with very fine bead making a crown against the rim. The nose is toasty with delicious roasted almond and brioche aromas. The zesty Chardonnay freshness is revealed by the delicate lemon cream character on the palate. Five years of evolution adds yeasty flavours in perfect harmony with the masculine oak influence. A rich and characterful bubbly to be enjoyed with fine food.
