Sparkling dry
This sparkling wine is crafted using the traditional method, maintaining a delicate balance between vivacity and elegance. "Solange" is a name that honours the matriarch of the Bourgeois family, in whose memory this wine is named.
The wine is aged on the lees: 10 months — part in stainless steel tanks, the other part in old oak barrels, which lend additional complexity. Secondary fermentation took place in the bottle, and the wine was kept on the lees for a further 18 months to bring out its structure and aromatic palette.
On the nose, a mineral core of white fruits unfolds, intertwined with citrus notes. The gentle pressing imparts no colour to the wine, yet preserves subtle savoury, earthy and toasted nuances.
Serve at 6–8 °C with oysters, seafood or as an aperitif.
Fine bubbles to the texture here, showing bread dough and strawberries on the nose and palate with a medium body. 24 months on the lees. 6 grams of dosage. Yet comes across fresh, dry and crunchy. Drink and enjoy. Monday, Nov 11, 2024
