Commercial Description
Le Champ ? French for bubble. A delicious bottle fermented Method? Sparkling, this latest (limited) release is from Gisborne grown Chardonnay. The single vineyard Blanc de Blancs is from the Ormond Valley. Handpicked and whole bunch pressed, with only 550 litres per tonne extraction it has been bottle fermented and stored in this bottle for 14 years prior to riddling in batches late 2022 and 2023. The wine has been re sealed under crown cap to remove the cork influence and deliver the pureness of Method? Champenoise aging. Dosage is 10 G/L
This wine possesses a very fine bubble, yeast derived savoury aromas and flavours, with a creaminess and freshness. With touches of lemon and mushroom on the palate, the off dry sweetness is balanced with acidity.
We are delighted to bring this wine to market. Purposefully under stated on the label we hope you agree the wine talks for itself. The creamy mousse is perfect as a lunch time refresher or aperitif to enjoy with canapes, tapas, and antipasto. Best served chilled in a tall glass
Colour: Light lime pale in colour with a fine creamy bubble.
Aromas: Burnt Citrus and peachy stone fruit mushroom and fresh baked bread
Palate: Off dry, fresh, and clean flavours of lemon and nectarine. A tantalising lingering palate cleansing finish.
