Vinification
Crafted in the time-honored tradition, this Method Cap Classique begins with hand-harvested grapes on the morning of January 27, 2017, at 18.5˚B. After gentle whole bunch pressing following cooling, the free-run juice undergoes overnight settling at 8°Celsius with pectolytic enzymes. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at a constant temperature of 12°C for approximately 15 days. Secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, followed by 72 months of maturation on the lees.

Food Pairing
Indulge in the richness and complexity of this MCC with an array of exquisite seafood dishes, from fish carpaccio to caviar, oysters, and sushi. Pair it with shellfish adorned with a luxurious sauce for a heavenly match, or savor it on its own to elevate any occasion.
