Simonsig Cuvée Chêne Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs 2007
Chardonnay grown on weathered shale soil on the estate was whole bunch pressed and the cuvée was fermented in seasoned French oak. During winter only three barrels of outstanding quality were selected out of a total of more than 100. Matured for 15 months on the primary yeast lees and bottled. Cellared on the yeast sediment in the bottle for four years and disgorged in April 2012. Matured on cork for another four and a half years. Chêne means oak.
