Overview
Tension and energy are the signatures of the 2016 Blanc de Blancs. The expression of Chardonnay is bright, and citrus-driven which ultimately gives the wine its focused and racy personality. Barrel fermentation adds to the complexity of the base wine before fermenting in bottle traditionally.

Fermentation
Barrel fermentation and 100% malolactic fermentation added to the complexity of the base wine before fermenting in bottle using traditional “Méthode Champenoise”

Taste
The 2016 vintage is a gorgeous Blanc de Blancs made from Chardonnay grown on both of our estate vineyards. These world-class, cool climate vineyards are proving that they can produce serious bubbles in addition to classic Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays.
