Simonsig Cuvee Chene Methode Cap Classique Brut 2004

Picked on the riper side of 20? Balling and whole bunch pressed. Fermented in seasoned French oak. Four outstanding barrels were selected and after 16 months on primary lees it was blended with 10% of 2005 Chardonnay cuv?e before bottling in June 2005. Degorged after 24 months on the lees with very low dosage. Tasting note: Delicate creamy mousse with roasted almond and buttered brioche flavours against a back drop of lemon cream complexity. The toasty French oak adds depth of flavour and a masculine firmness to the structure.
