Description
Upon arrival at the cellar, each parcel was gently whole-bunch pressed, extracting only the first 400L/ton – known as the cuvée fraction – for the purpose of this blend. Two of the Chardonnay portions underwent barrel fermentation in a combination of old Piece Champenoise (205L) barrels and Foudres (2000L), constituting 70% of the final blend. The third portion is fermented in stainless steel tanks. The Pinot Noir is entirely fermented in stainless steel. After ageing on the primary lees in their respective vessels for 5 months, the components were blended and bottled on 11th June 2018 for secondary fermentation in the bottle. The wine matured on the lees for 5 years before disgorgement.
