Crushed oyster shell minerality and freshness lead to lightly baked green apple studded with cloves and baking spice. Pretty white florals, red apple skin, gingerbread and charcoal drive-through to the palate. The wine simmers with intrigue. Succulent and long, the dosage is tucked in neatly with bright acid humming along. The mouth-filling texture is derived from fine and layered phenolics with plenty of yeasty autolytic tones – think charred sourdough slathered with lemon curd. Delicious. Refined opulence with tulle-like layers and a long finish. The 2021 vintage was cooler than average, providing a longer hang time, and fantastic fruit from the Apogee vineyard, which allows for a vineyard blend of 59% Chardonnay. 36% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Meunier. Oxidative handling in the winery and 30 months on lees equates to an incredibly complex sparkling.
