On the palate
The wine shows a classic Blanc de Blancs gold with a string of pearl-like bubbles rising elegantly through the glass. Our Cap Classique is not rushed; it is a wine whose craft is patient and precise, accumulating a total of six years for its secondary fermentation. The nose opens with a rush of brioche, followed by rich apricot and stone fruit aromas underpinned by a subtle
orange rind character that slowly becomes more prominent as the wine lingers in your glass. On the palate, a soft, integrated bubble captures attention, carrying flavours that follow seamlessly from the nose.
The wine’s balancing acidity provides vibrancy, harmonising with the nutty undertones that have developed over six years of yeast contact in the bottle. The extended maturation contributes to both texture and depth, with the mousse creating a refined creaminess. As the wine evolves under cork, it will continue to reveal layers of richness and complexity, the brioche and nutty elements taking centre stage in a finish that is both luxurious and enduring.
