Franciacorta Cuvèe Brut D.O.C.G. an aromatic brut with yeast attributes. Lovely, tasty and with a twist.
Grapes: Chardonnay 80% - Pinot Bianco 10% - Pinot Nero 10%
Vinification: Soft pressing of the grapes, fermentation in steel vats and in small oak barrels at a controlled temperature. After fermentation, the wine is kept in contact with the yeasts through a batonage operation. The Franciacorta is then prepared for the tirage with which the refermentation in the bottle begins and the refinement on the yeasts for an average of 24 months.
Permanence in the bottle in contact with the yeasts: At least 24 months.

Vintage 2009 | There is no point in being sorry, I know, but I wish I bought more Cotat. Incredible Sancerre with 16 years. No sign of age or fatigue, very vivid. Citrus, minerals, white chocolate, very rich smell, fresh. Some flint, a brieve hint of honey. This wine is all about e l e g a n c e. — 3 months ago

Big fan of the savory, mineral, muscular, classic expression of this c-h. 85% Syrah 15% Roussanne. Needs time. Tight and restrained. Black olive, iron, plum, earth notes on a salty, mineral frame. Intense and wound up very tight. Very evocative, lovely. — a month ago
