2013 Late Disgorged Vintage Brut
The pinnacle of our sparkling portfolio, our 2013 Late Disgorged Brut reflects the depth of flavor and grace gained from seven years of en tirage aging. Intricate and evolved with rich, aged notes of hazelnut, brioche, cream and toasted almond, yet still youthful and vibrant with hints of tangerine, kumquat, baked yellow apple and Meyer lemon curd. The mousse is delicate and refined. Ripe and round on the mouth, supported by lively, palate-refreshing acidity that promises long aging potential. Enjoy this spectacular bubbly alongside caviar-topped kettle chips with crème fraiche with a dash of lemon zest, or Marcona almond-crusted sole over rice pilaf with kumquat and persimmon.

With 54% Chardonnay and 46% Pinot Noir in the blend, this is an impressive sparkling wine. It offers an inviting mix of yeast, flowers, peach and pear on a creamy, well-resolved and nearly silky texture.

The 2013 Late Disgorged Vintage Brut is savory and autolytic from its seven years' tirage, with scents of baked quince and apples, cheese rind, pie crust, mushroom, wet leaves and toast. The medium-bodied palate is dry, creamy and expansive, with an excellent balance of concentrated apple fruit and savory pastry character. It has finely beaded mousse and a long, energetic finish with shimmery flinty tones.
