Description

  • Apple
  • Strawberry compote
  • Stone fruits
  • Crisp acidity

"Made from 100% pinot noir, this is elegant and delicately fragrant on the nose showing white stone fruit, fresh apple and citrus characters with gentle yeasty notes. The palate is fine and focused, and displays linear mouthfeel and bright acidity, leading to a fabulous long, crisp finish. A gorgeous aperitif style" Sam Kim Wine Orbit, Jun 2016

"Bright, light straw-yellow colour with lemon-green hues, a little lighter on the rim, the bead very fine and very persistent.  The nose is firmly packed, well concentrated and tightly bound with aromas of white and yellow stonefruits along with a fresh, steely, minerally edge.  Very fine yeasty autolysis and nutty detail underlines the fruit, and the aromatics show clarity and precision.  Dryish to taste and medium-bodied, the palate features a tight core with subtly sweet stonefruit and yellow floral flavours.  The mousse is refreshing and lively and along with crisp acidity lends a lively mouthfeel.  The yeast autolysis follows the fine-textured line and the wine carries to a slightly grippy finish with steel and minerals, and floral and citrus fruit nuances.  This dryish Champagne is fresh, bright and aromatic with good grip and acidity, and a steely finish.  Match with aperitif and Pacific Rim fare over the next 2-3 years.  100% Pinot Noir, 70% from the 2012 harvest and 30% from 2011, fermented to 12% alc., with 9.5 g/L dosage" Raymond Chan

Yellow gold in colour, the aromas of this Champagne are seductive with hints of hawthorn, apple and strawberry compote. In the mouth it is lively and very fruity with a finish dominated by ripe peach notes.
