Varichon & Clerc Privilege Blanc De Blancs Colombard

Grape varities: blend of ugni blanc colombard chenin chardonnay and jacquere. The proportion of each grape variety necessarily changes each year to maintain the house style. Winemaking: after a meticulous selection of the base wines our winemaking team carefully created the blend of privilege blanc de blancs. This still blend was bottled together with a liqueur de tirage- a mix composed of sugar and selected yeasts. Into the bottle sugars were consumed by the yeast which transformed them into alcohol and also naturally released carbonic gas which made the bubbles into the wine. Each bottle was then aged for 15 months sur lattes which added aromatic complexity to the wine. A brut dosage gave the final touch to this elegant cuvee. Tasting notes: this pale and brillant gold wine has white fruit aromas with numerous fine bubbles. The palate is elegant longlasting and well balanced between freshness and fruit. Lively mineral attack giving way to aromas of white flowers
