Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
JACKSON-TRIGGS |
Bright light straw colour with streams of tiny bubbles. Attractive, slightly spicy, bright, ripe, lemon-apple meringue nose with some complex toasty-mineral notes. Dry, medium bodied, very bright, ripe, lemon-apple meringue flavours with a lingering, crisp, toasty-brioche finish and fine effervescence. This nicely textured 2017 new blend of 70% Chardonnay, 27% Pinot Noir and 3% Pinot Meunier was tiraged (put in bottle) in February 2018 and disgorged in July 2022 with now 53 months on the lees. It has 13% alcohol, 5 g/L residual sugar and 8 g/L total acidity. Tastes even better than when originally released a year ago! The code L220712 (July 12, 2022) appears on the shipping case. |
