The 2013 ‘Extended Tirage’ was disgorged in July 2023. Given 3 G/L dosage, The wine was picked before the rains of the 2013 vintage. On the nose this shows baking spice dusted pastry crust, Pink Lady apple, and juicy peach notes with shades of diatomaceous earth. The mousse is super refined and elegant, as this glides throughout the drinking experience. 60% Pinot Noir with the remainder Chardonnay. This is ethereal stuff that is only starting to hit its stride. Drink 2024-2038.

This handsome sparkler reveals maturity but remains vibrant, offering baked pear and Meyer lemon flavors laced with roasted hazelnut and spice accents that linger on the rich finish. Drink now. (TF)
Notes
A very special extended tirage bottling from Argyle. This bottling gets over 10 years of ageing on the lees before being riddled and disgourged to order. This extended lees aging builds immense flavor and complexity and is generally only ever experienced in the world's most extensive Champagnes.
