Yellow hues with flecks of green, very fine bead and persistent mousse. Aromas of grapefruit typical of Whitlands, blend with Mirabelle plum classic Strathbogie Pinot Noir flavour, overlaying praline and fresh toast characters derived from age and time on yeast lees. Citrus zest, pink grapefruit and white peach fruits with hazelnut and toast characters. The palate has very fine bubbles and long, tight acidity..
Light, bright yellow colour with a bright, youthful, straightforward bouquet of straw-hay and an overtone of hot ironed cotton. Almond Christmas cake icing, too. The palate is dry and crisp and fruity, with a lovely honey note and a hint of green lime that adds extra interest. It reminds of slightly green Chablis chardonnay. It's youthful, primary and very, very good. I think it's the best Chandon Vintage Brut so far. 24 MAY 2019 Drink 2019–2025
