TASTING NOTES
TASTING NOTES
Vintage Brut is the heart and soul of Chandon. For 2015, the grapes came exclusively from our Strathbogie Ranges and Whitlands Plateau vineyards with a sentimental sprinkling from our original Yarra Valley vineyard – to add a little extra seasoning. These vineyards bring cool nights that help tease out the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes’ natural flavours, leaving Vintage Brut with aromas of grapefruit, plum, praline and fresh toast. In our not so humble opinion, Chandon Vintage Brut 2015 is traditional winemaking and local know-how at its very best – the personality of each season shines through these wines as only a southern-hemisphere sun can.
WINEMAKING
WINE MAKING
1. Harvest early February to late March. Grapes are pressed to juice. 2. The juice is inoculated with cultured yeast. Primary fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks with a few select parcels fermented in oak vessels for greater complexity. 3. In May, assemblage occurs which involves blending a combination of new base wines with reserve wines from previous years. 4. The second fermentation occurs in the bottle and the ageing process beings. The wine will spend a minimum of 2 years on yeast lees. 5. Individual bottles are then riddled and disgorged. A small amount of dosage liqueur is added. After 3 months bottle age the wine is ready!
