1997 Chandon Late Disgorged Brut

This wine has spent six years on yeast lees and was disgorged in September 2003, this blend consists of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Creamy white mousse which has very good staying ability. The bead is very fine, and shows excellent persistence. Deep straw colour, indicative of years of bottle age. The nose is impressive, with complex notes of yeast lees, hazelnut and honeycomb. The palate is very creamy and full bodied, with distinctive flavours of biscuit, cashew and yeast lees followed by a touch of hazelnut. Perfect balance with crisp acid backbone followed by a very long creamy citrus lees aftertaste.
