Varietal/Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting note: Bright, lifted citrus aromatics of kaffir lime and grapefruit abound, supported by ripe nectarine-like stone fruit notes. An elegant, concentrated palate reveals ripe, juicy stone fruit and lemongrass, supported by a lovely minerality.
Varietal/Blend: 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Meunier
Tasting note: Striking a perfect balance between youthfulness and maturity, freshness and vinousity, Brut Premier is harmonious and structured, elegant and lively, with a unique exuberance. Its structured texture, richness, and length are distinctly winey. It is a full, complex wine that is both rich and powerful, whilst remaining a great classic.
