This bubble has spent an incredible amount of time on the lees! Seven full years. Comparable to what we see from a few of our very finest small-estate Champagne producers. I really loved its balance of tartness, cream, citrus, poached pear fruit and that super-duper long and chalky finish. It went on forever! There are also some flavors of juicy stone fruits with undertones of exotic Asian spices and Granny Smith apple. I have the distinct feeling that this bottling is also cellar worthy, just like a fine Champagne. I've had bottlings of Schramsberg Blanc de Blanc that were decades old and I can see this one also having that high quality advantage.

"En tirage" is a French term to describe how long a champagne ages on its lees (the dead yeast cells that remain after the second fermentation in the bottle). In Champagne, the minimum requirement for vintage champagne is 3 years by law. In America, we do whatever we want. There are no rules, yet this Anonymous sparkling wine spends a full 7 years on the lees before disgorgement and release. 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, it is medium bodied, rich mid palate, with notes of vanilla and lemon cream, orchard fruit, pie crust, nectarine, ginger, and peaches in syrup.

Pale yellow color. Bright nose of apple and quince. Deep, luxurious palate gives brioche and pie crust. Fine bubbles. Superb value!!

Notes

A simply spectacular sparkling wine from one of the country’s most renowned producers. This extended-tirage Brut spent an astounding seven years aging on the lees before being riddled and hand-disgorged, then finished with a modest 4 g/L dosage. The fruit comes from a handful of iconic Sonoma Coast vineyard sites that we’re unable to name due to strict non-disclosure agreements. Crafted by a winemaker with decades of experience, this wine bears the imprint of one of the most legendary and critically acclaimed names in the business. (Ryan Woodhouse - K&L Domestic Wine Buyer)
