Kemp started building a perpetual cuvee of Blanc de Blancs in 2011 but didn't bottle it. ‘There are not a lot of base wines in California so I spent a decade building the base wine.’ He did his first tirage bottling in 2020. Recently disgorged; it's a blend of 10 vintages total; half is from 2020, and the other half is a 10-year cuvée. The wine was bottled intentionally with fewer bubbles and a more vinous character, which pairs well with West Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. Redolent florals, cut pears and notes of honeyed ginger build out the aromatics. The palate is rich with honeysuckle, ripe pear, and golden apples, finishing with rich honeyed stone fruits.
