Winemaker Notes
This Blanc de Blancs marks a monumental debut, capturing the freshness and vibrancy of its inaugural vintage. It begins with enticing aromas of green apple, lemon curd and ripe pear, drawing you in with a lively bouquet. On the palate, subtle nuances of puff pastry add a touch of complexity, while a soft mousse and fine bubbles create a refined texture. The finish is crisp and clean, highlighted by spirited acidity and impeccable balance.
Production
Despite an unusually dry winter and warm spring, budbreak was delayed due to light rain in March. The overall lack of rainfall led to light clusters and small berries, which resulted in reduced yields and great concentration. Harvest began on August 5th with Semillon, and early heat generated a fast and furious first few weeks of picking. A much-needed mid-September cool-down allowed for sugars to realign with flavor development. Moderate temperatures continued throughout the rest of the season, providing additional hangtime for the grapes. Our last red grapes were harvested before the rains in late October, resulting in beautiful wines that are dense, pure and polished.
