Laborie Méthode Cap Classique Blanc de Blancs 2017

ageing : The wine can be cellared for 5-7 years from vintage.

about the harvest: The grapes were hand harvested into bins in the cool of the morning.

in the cellar : The grapes were whole bunch pressed and only free run juice was used for the final blend. A Selected yeast was used for primary fermentation. A portion of the Chardonnay was allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation. The wine was blended, bottled and underwent a secondary fermentation in the bottle. This was followed by bottle maturation of approximately 36 months. Only then it was disgorged, corked and labelled.
