Jacques Lassaigne, La Colline Inspiree BdB Extra Brut NV

Jancis Robinson
"Very small production. Light and focused and very pure. Slim-line wine with real structure. 17.5/20 points."

Vinous Reverie Notes
Age of Vines: 40+ Years. Yields: 60 hl/ha. Pruning Method: Guyot. Soil: Heavy clay and chalk. Varieties: Chardonnay. Vinification Method: The unique path of the Colline Inspirée is that it is vinified and aged entirely in barrel. This process does not add any oak flavoring to the wine as the barrels are old. What it does add is a sumptuous essence of oxidation, similar to a fine aged white burgundy. Tasting Notes: This wine is opulent and creamy, showing gorgeous hazelnut overtones and fresh baked brioche undertones.
