Production Details Recent producer specification: hand-picked Chardonnay and Pinot Noir averaged 18.5–20.5 Brix; after whole-bunch pressing, the juice settled for 48 hours before racking. Lees were stirred after fermentation. Blending occurred in September, with some base wine retained as future reserve wine and older reserves added in October. After blending and stabilization, the wine spent a minimum of 24 months en tirage; a small, unquantified dosage was added after disgorgement. The producer recommends serving at 8–10°C (46–50°F).
Tasting Notes Pale salmon hue; raspberry, cranberry and ripe wild strawberry, with red florals, rosehip and marzipan; baked quince, cranberry, brioche and soft citrus on a finely structured palate with a soft, dry finish.
Food Pairing Fresh shellfish including oysters, clams and scallops; buttermilk panna cotta with strawberries; grilled peaches with goats’ curd and honey; smoked salmon or trout, tuna, charcuterie and terrines.
