Information about "L'Ormarins Blanc de Blancs 2021"
The L'Ormarins Blanc de Blancs captivates with its lively, shimmering effervescence. Its aromatic profile presents a zesty sea breeze, punctuated with lime peel and chalk alongside delicate hints of orange zest. Upon tasting, the wine reveals energetic freshness, bursting with crisp green apple and a refreshing lemony note. This vibrancy softens beautifully, giving way to a luxurious yet understated mouthfeel that showcases creamy citrus fruits and gentle pastry nuances developed during its time on the lees. With refined elegance, it lingers on the palate while still embodying its youthful vivacity, presenting a seamless fusion of fruit, yeast, and lively acidity. This wine is remarkably balanced, vibrant and fresh, yet distinctly elegant and structured with a notably long finish.
The Chardonnay grapes were hand-harvested early in the morning and pressed as whole bunches. The free-run juice and pressed components were kept separate. The juice was clarified and inoculated with yeast for fermentation. Prior to blending, approximately 15% of the Blanc de Blancs was fermented in barriques and aged for 12 weeks. The base wine was then blended and filtered. The Chardonnay was bottled for secondary fermentation and stored at 13 to 15 degrees Celsius, aging for four years on the lees, before being disgorged and matured for an additional eight months before release.
