      Description

      To celebrate 175 years of winemaking, Australian winery Penfolds is offering a limited edition champagne. In partnership with Maison de Champagne Thiénot, Penfolds has been fully involved in every stage of the creation of this extraordinary cuvée, Blanc de Blancs 2012.

      This Blanc de Blancs is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in Avize, a Grand Cru terroir in the Côte des Blancs region renowned for the exceptional quality of its grapes.

      2012 was an unprecedented year for wine, combining difficult weather conditions with a superb end to the summer, ultimately producing grapes of superb maturity accentuated by moderate yields. The balance is reminiscent of the great vintages of 2002, 1989 and 1966.

      Malolactic fermentation is blocked in order to fully reveal the character of the grapes and the typicity of the terroir. This wine is Extra-Brut, with less than 2 g/L of dosage.

      This cuvée has a straw-yellow color and very fine bubbles.

      The nose reveals harmonious notes of citrus and lemon zest, intertwined with aromas of white lily, freshly baked madeleine, fresh almond, honey, barley sugar, and yellow and white fruits.

      On the palate, the wine is linear and well-defined with notes of frosted lemon, panna cotta and vanilla pod. A generosity of flavors characteristic of Chardonnay and this beautiful limestone terroir, the identity of a complete Blanc de Blancs.
