Cazals - Clos Cazals – Vieilles Vignes

Terroir: 100% Chardonnay from the plot called « Vieilles Vignes », planted in 1957 in the Clos Cazals in Oger – Grand Cru.

Vinification:

• Ageing on lees in vaulted cellar for 9 years.
• 20% in oak barrels after alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
• Disgorgement January 2023 – Dosage 2 grams per liter.

Tasting:

• Eye: A bright pale gold colour with slight silvery reflections revealing a dynamic effervescence with fine bubbles leading to a generous sparkling cord.
• Nose: A nose with character. A light, timid opening, on aromas of white f lowers, hawthorn then opening, revealing little by little on more gourmet and generous notes of candied citrus and pastry notes.
• Palate: A frank and lively attack, revealing on a full and chiseled mouth. The minerality of the Oger terroir is confirmed with the reminiscence of citrus notes discovered on the nose and embellished with a round and buttery touch. A long, tonic and iodized finish.

Food pairing: To be enjoyed preferably with a dish. This cuvée will go perfectly with foie gras, white meat with mushrooms such as poultry morel sauce or saints jacques and other fatty fish.
