On the palate
Displaying a light gold hue with a clear, refined bubble structure rising through the glass, this Cap Classique is a testament to patience and care in its crafting. The nose reveals light brioche
notes, reminiscent of apple crumble, underpinning the yellow fruits and distinct pear aromas reflective of the warmer vintage. On the palate, the wine showcases a refined mousse and smooth texture. A vibrant acidity is complemented by subtle pear notes, carried over from the nose, and a touch of lime cordial. Granny Smith apple adds freshness, lifting the mid-palate, while a gentle sweetness lingers on the finish, balanced by a refreshing acidity.
The extended lees contact, spanning six years under the crown cap, integrates seamlessly, contributing to the wine’s texture and depth. With time, the wine ages elegantly, developing greater richness and a more refined bubble structure, enhancing its complexity and textured mouthfeel. The richer brioche and nutty characteristics take centre stage as the luxurious mouthfeel is further enhanced.
