Add to my wine list2014 Cap Classique Jacques Bruére Brut Reserve
Bon Courage Wine Estate
Robertson
Fruit driven style with peach, hints of citrus as well as creaminess on the nose. It expresses both intensity and delicacy. Toasted nutty characters infused with stone fruits complimented by rich, creamy, biscuit flavours. Lingering finish with a lively mousse.
Vinification
The base wine was kept on the lees for 8 months initially during the first fermentation. 10% of the Chardonnay was barrel fermented. The "magic of the bubbles" begins during the 2nd fermentation that occurs in the bottle thereby extending maturation on the lees for 96 months. After disgorgement and dosage the final product is left on the cork and then released.
Recommendation
A wine for all occasions, not just the special ones! Compliments fresh oysters, sushi, poached salmon or any seafood based canapes.
