Tasting Notes:

Straw yellow with flashes of green and a fine persistent bead, it has a bright and fresh bouquet of citrus blossom, subtle pear and white nectarine that combine with roasted nuts and delicate spices.  It is soft with generous fruit on the palate.  This is followed by a creamy mid palate that offers nougat and nectarines that extends to a lingering and crisp finish.

 

The complexity of the Brut is a natural result of the diversity of sites, varying in altitude, age and aspect. Grapes were sourced from a range of premium cool climate vineyards in the southern wine regions of Australia, including the Yarra Valley, Strathbogie, the King and Buffalo Valleys (Victoria) and Coonawarra (South Australia). Vineyards are planted to various densities depending on the soil type, ranging from 2,222 to 5,000 vines per hectare, with an average yield between 10 and 12 tonnes per hectare. Most of the selected vineyards are trained to the standard vertical shoot positioning trellis to minimise the development of phenolics and tannins whilst maintaining vibrancy of flavour.

Technical:

Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit is harvested from mid-February through to March. Batches from each vineyard are kept separate providing the winemaking team with an extensive selection of blending options to optimise complexity and structure.

 

After inoculation with yeast, fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks with approximately 30% of the batches going through malolactic fermentation. In June, the winemaking team assemble the Brut blend selecting each base wine on their individual aroma and flavour characteristics.

 

Up to 80 individual base wines and one to three year old reserve wines are blended to capture the consistent style and complexity inherent in Chandon Brut. While the blend may vary slightly from year to year Chardonnay usually accounts for around 60% of the blend with the remainder being Pinot Noir.

 

The reserve wines are stored in a combination of large oak barrels, barriques and stainless steel and comprise more than 20% of the blend, a key element in the Brut style. 

 

Following the secondary ferment the wine is aged on the yeast lees for 15 to 18 months, contributing a range of complex, savoury aromas and flavour characteristics to the finished wine. Individual bottles are then riddled and disgorged, and a small amount of dosage liqueur is added to finish the wine. After a further three months of bottle age the wine is ready for release.

Accolades & Awards:

CAMPBELL MATTINSON (THE WINE FRONT, SEPTEMBER 2013). 
"Grown in many different regions - labelled simply as 'Australia' - and blended to a house style. It's pretty tasty too.  It's alive with fresh fruit flavours - apples, lemons. Perhaps some nectarine - with yeasty elements playing second fiddle. Fine bead. Delivers fresh flavours in stylish fashion. A good example of Chandon fizz."

RATED 93 POINTS (JAMES HALLIDAY AUSTRALIAN WINE COMPANION). 
Bright green-straw; incorporates 45 different base wine parcels; the usual balance and length, tangy chardonnay prevailing over the softer pinot; some brioche/nougat notes; long, clean finish. Like all the Sparkling wines, is a 'methode traditionelle".

The Chandon Brut NV has been judged by international wine critics and on the wine show circuit as outpointing....
