Product information "Black Elephant Vintners MCC Cap Classique Brut"
The Black Elephant Vintners BEV MCC Cap Classique Brut is a classic blend of Chardonnay (75%) and Pinot Noir (25%). While the Chardonnay imparts stunning fruit and elegance to the wine, Pinot Noir bestows stunning complexity and flavor length. Delicately yeasty aromas and nuances of fresh citrus and fresh red apples caress the palate with creamy complexity and subtle cherry notes. The remarkably fine mousse provides great freshness and finesse. A brilliant cork popper!

The grapes were vinified according to traditional champagne method. A gentle pressing on the whole bunch was followed by a cool-regulated resting period to clarify the juice. The clear juice that settled from the sediment was skimmed and inoculated with selected champagne yeast to optimize the freshness and elegance of the base wine. Fermentation continued for 14 days at a regulated 15°C. After the fermentation was completed, the wine spent 12 months on the lees to obtain a nice fullness and texture in the wine. After the 12 months in the steel tank, the wine was stabilized and transferred to the bottle, where the secondary fermentation, sealed under crown cork, began. The wine spent 27 months in bottle before the removal of lees (dégorgement).
