13.03.2023This sparkling wine made using the Metodo Classico is a single-varietal Chardonnay.
The vineyards where the grapes come from are mainly southwest-facing at an altitude of 360 to 430 meters, with yellow to deep dark clay soils and white active limestone.
The grapes were spontaneously fermented in used wood barrels after pressing and aged there for seven months. The Chardonnay blend was completed on March 30, 2018.
Afterwards, the sparkling wine aged on the lees for 59 months. It was disgorged “pas operé,” meaning only with the wine from the same batch without the addition of dosage or anything else. No cold stabilization, filtration, or fining was performed. Disgorgement took place on March 13, 2023.
Tasting note:
Bright golden yellow with fine mousse.
The Blanc de Blanc Pas Operé combines the ripe notes developed from the long lees aging with fresh notes. These mainly recall crushed limestone and chalk, lemon juice and zest, some bitter orange peel and grapefruit, almond croissants, and a hint of Manzanilla.
On the palate, when enjoying the Blanc de Blanc, one naturally thinks of a long-aged Jura Chardonnay where a small amount of Vin Jaune has been integrated. Here you find deliberately oxidative notes of tart cider apples and walnuts combined with a fresh impression of citrus notes and a lively acidity that builds great tension. There are also hints of preserved lemons, some aged hard cheese, and bitter orange. A deep, complex, mature, and at the same time incredibly agile and fresh sparkling wine.
