Description from the Producer
Welcoming back our much beloved Charmat.
This non-vintage (NV) Charmat-method sparkling wine project was first envisioned at the start of 2016 harvest. Our goal was to explore the effects of extended maturation in bulk (rather than in bottle), as well as the impact of blending multiple vintages on the base for our sparkling wine library. Small volumes of base wine were produced from each harvest between 2016 and 2024, aged individually in neutral French oak, and only minimally topped and tasted over time. The final blend undergoes secondary fermentation in tank, using the Cuvée Close (Charmat) method, to produce its fine bubbles.
86% Chardonnay, 14% Pinot Noir.

Appearance: Golden yellow with a soft, persistent mousse.
Nose: Pear drop, golden apple — fresh and lightly candied.
Palate: Biscuit, lemon candy, and honey. Creamy with a mineral edge and elegant texture.
Quality Score: 94 – Serve well chilled (6–8 °C). Enjoy now through 2026 as complexity continues to evolve. No decanting needed.
Serving Temperature: 6–8 °C in a flute or tulip-shaped glass to preserve mousse and aromatics.
Drinking Window: Now through 2026 for evolving savoury depth.
Food Pairings: Warm bacon-wrapped dates with blue cheese, triple-cream Brie,
buttermilk fried chicken with honey-lime drizzle, creamy leek & potato croquette with herb aioli, honey lavender financier
