Embark on a sensory journey with our 2015 Vintage Brut, a testament to the exceptional 2015 growing season. Characterized by large clusters ideal for sparkling wine and Pinot Noir, this warm vintage showcased an abundance of fruit, focusing on the pure essence. Pinot Noir, pressed with care, reveals its tertiary characters and peach notes, while Chardonnay, with extended tirage, expresses captivating mineral characteristics. Crafted from the finest single vineyard fruits of Gold Eagle Vineyard and Côte Sud Vineyard, this sparkling wine is a well-balanced masterpiece.

This wine greets you with Oregon filbert hazelnuts and delicate pink ginger on the nose, leading to a palate serenaded with freshly sliced apricot and the zesty brightness of a lemon twist. Subtle hints of flaky pie crust and luscious apricot tarte complement toasty undertones of hazelnut, creating a mouth-watering profile with a pronounced mineral character. The long, satisfying finish makes this wine a remarkable companion to culinary delights such as oysters, caviar, scallop ceviche, or Dungeness crab.

"After 80 months of tirage, this traditional method blend of 82% Chardonnay and 18% Pinot Noir is eager to please. The wine's combination of Golden Delicious apple and browned butter aromas are almost butterscotch-like. Its creamy texture and elegant bubbles accompany flavors of lemon butter on brioche, saline and toasted filberts. Délicieuse!"
