Pierre Jourdan
The Pierre Jourdan range of Méthode Cap Classiques and still wines was named after the French Huguenot to whom the Franschhoek property was granted in 1694. True to French tradition, only the best quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit are used to create Pierre Jourdan wines.
Description
Created in the traditional French method of bottle fermentation or ‘Méthode Cap Classique’, this wine was fermented and aged in oak for 8 months, it then spent a further 5 year on the lees. The Blanc de Blancs is a showcase of the aging potential of Chardonnay with citrus notes and delicate hints of oak on the nose. The full-textured palate has hints of passion fruit with a fine and elegant mousse.
Food Pairing
The rich, full-bodied palate allows a wide range of pairings, doing especially well with rich seafood dishes and decadent desserts.
