Domaine La Ferrandiere Methode Traditionelle Brut Blanc De Blancs
Overview
An elegant sparkling wine crafted in the traditional method (méthode traditionelle) from the Languedoc region of Southern France. This Blanc de Blancs is made exclusively from white grape varieties, primarily Chardonnay, offering exceptional finesse and delicacy.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Brilliant pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles that form a delicate mousse.
Nose: Fresh and inviting with pronounced notes of green apple, white peach, and citrus blossoms, complemented by subtle hints of brioche and toasted almonds from extended lees aging.
Palate: Crisp and refreshing with vibrant acidity balanced by a creamy texture. The palate displays flavors of lemon zest, ripe pear, and Granny Smith apple that evolve into notes of freshly baked bread and a touch of honey. The fine effervescence carries these flavors through to a clean, mineral-driven finish.
