			It’s safe to say that some people have a bit of a soft spot for the sweeter things in life—and we have the perfect wine for you. Chandon Cuvée Riche balances sweetness with spice for a creamy palate and crisp finish – perfect for a shared brunch, or an after-dinner splash accompanied by a soft lounge and a sharp cheese.
 
It's a gentle reminder that sometimes a little sweetness goes a long way.

			TASTING NOTES
			Enticing aromas of guava, ripe tropical fruits, vanilla and dried apricots combine with complex notes of cashew nuts and brioche. A soft and opulent front palate leads seamlessly into a mid-palate offering dried fruit and yeast derived savoury creaminess. Our Cuvée Riche shows generous weight and balance, finishing long and refreshingly crisp.

			WINE MAKING
			The traditional sparkling wine favourites – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier – are sourced from a range of cool-climate vineyards in the southern wine regions of Australia. They're fermented separately to preserve the unique characters of each variety and vineyard , and the base wines selected for their individual aroma and flavour characteristics for blending. In order to capture a consistently rich and fresh style, judicious site selection, blending expertise and the selective use of reserve wines were employed by our winemaking team. A carefully selected dosage liqueur is generously added at disgorging to create the luscious and rich characters that epitomise this style.

			Other Notes
			Grapes are sourced from a range of cool climate viticultural sites, including the Yarra Valley, Strathbogie Ranges, and King Valley. Soils at these sites vary from free draining sandy loams to aged alluvial loams with high clay content. Vineyards are planted to various densities depending on the soil type, ranging from 2,222 to 5,000 vines per hectare, with an average yield between 10 and 12 tonnes per hectare. Most of the selected vineyards are trained to the standard vertical shoot positioning trellis to minimise the development of phenolics and tannins whilst maintaining vibrancy of flavour.
