WHAT IS A LATE DISGORGED WINE?
Every year, we release a small number of late-disgorged wines. These are particularly luxurious and fine thanks to a special winemaking technique.
If you’re already familiar with Dom Perignon’s Plénitude or Bollinger’s RD, then you know the magical combination of freshness allied with delicious flavours of brioche, cream, butter and toast that characterise late-disgorged wines.
But how does this kind of ageing alchemy happen? The answer lies in the lees.
TASTING NOTE & FOOD PAIRING
Light gold in colour with a fine mousse and aromas of citrus peel, green apple and stone fruits alongside brioche and biscuit notes. Lemon Sherbet notes on the nose turn to a creamier lemon posset on the palate, with white peach, apple and pear. Behind the elegant fruit lies more complex flavours of toasted nuts, buttered toast and delicate spice leading to a long, intense finish. This wine is delicious with richer fish dishes and lighter meats. A scallop gratin, or salmon en croute, lemon and herb roasted chicken or a pumpkin and hazelnut tortelloni.
