The Blue Pyrenees Vintage Brut 2008 expresses the special qualities of the component wines chosen when creating this consistent house style. The Blue Pyrenees team has incorporated the best cuvées from the three classic sparkling varieties – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, which each present varietal and regional characters, creating a beguiling complex blend. The judicious use of small amounts of reserve wine adds complexity and maturity whilst helping to maintain consistency from year to year.

The 2008 Blue Pyrenees Vintage Brut exhibits a fine and persistent bead, concentrated yeast autolysis characters and citrus fruit flavours. The lively palate is driven by a fresh acidity, which lingers harmoniously with the aged complexity. |
