Based on an assemblage
of Chardonnay wines from various vintages, the oldest of which have been
aged in oak barrels. Because of its elaborate processing, this unique
sparkling wine is produced in extremely limited quantity.
Sparkling process: we select the choice yeasts used in the processing
of this sparkling wine. The wine is made sparkling using a pied de cuvee
that undergoes rigorous and continuous enzyme testing. Fermentation takes
place over several months at very low temperatures.
Finishing: the aromatic properties of the yeasts are maximized by
regularly agitating the tank for a period exceeding eight months to keep
them in suspension, thus adding their elegant bouquet to the wine. Once
bottled, it is necessary to bottle age this sparkling wine for an additional
eight months to add elegance and balance to an already complex symphony of
aromas and flavors.
Features: upon pouring into the flute a generous, quickly dissipating
foam is formed, leaving a halo around the edge of the glass fed by a fine
and uniform perlage. Light straw-colored.
Bouquet: refined, diverse fragrances, vaguely spicy, delicate and
complex bouquet.
Flavor: rich, full-bodied, dry and round with flavors of spices and
fruits.
Alcohol: 12% by volume.
Serving temperature: cool but not cold, 10-14°C, 50-57°F.
Gastronomy: a sparkling wine for elaborate dishes, whether based on
fish, white meat, or cream sauces, ideal for first courses, and with cheeses
in general, especially good with parmesan cheese. It is not a dessert wine,
but makes a nice end to a meal.
