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.
TASTING NOTE
The nose is incredibly inviting: it’s ripe and filled with citrus notes of lemon peel and tangerine alongside ripe orchard fruits. There are also richer notes of nuts, sweet patisserie, popcorn and caramel. The palate here feels fresher and more youthful than the classic Brut Reserve 2010. It’s plush, complex and elegant with citrus, red and green apple, green mango, melon, lime peel and blossom, and a mineral note. Honeyed flavours of pastry and lemon meringue pie lead into a long, satisfying finish.
