WHAT IS A LATE DISGORGED WINE?
Every year, we release a small number of late-disgorged wines. These are particularly luxurious and fine thanks to a special winemaking technique.
If you’re already familiar with Dom Perignon’s Plénitude or Bollinger’s RD, then you know the magical combination of freshness allied with delicious flavours of brioche, cream, butter and toast that characterise late-disgorged wines.
TASTING NOTE
This late-disgorged wine has a fascinating nose of pear, spice and cloves, but also complex notes of sandalwood, pencil shavings and a mineral, slatey note. The palate is similarly complex and heady, with notes of redcurrant, red fruits and orange zest sitting alongside cloves, cherry bark and a delicious, succulent apricot note. The finish is complex and long.
