Wine of the Month

In keeping with the finest traditions of a Champagne producer, we present this Celebration Brut as a non vintage cuvee. This wine is a blend of our Discovery and Vintage Cuvees as well as incorporating of some reserve wines for added character and an element of age to the finished wine. Our winemaker again uses a predominance of Pinot Noir in the final blend. This wine is a true representation of what can happen when “old world” meets “new”… classic French Champagne protocols with Willamette Valley fruit.

BLEND: Pinot Noir 70%, Chardonnay 30%
VINTAGE COMPONENTS: 30% 2000, 30% 2001, 40% 2002
FERMENTATION: Fermented in small lots in barrel.
AGING: After bottling, this Cuvee undergoes a minimum of 4 years on the yeast
DOSAGE: Moderate, 8 gr/L

Winemaker’s Notes: “Straw colored, abundant foam and impressive crown. The addition of reserve wines is evident in a nice nutty element to the wine. Aromas of toasted spice give way to almond and pear. Fresh and clean on the palate with fine fruit expression, lively acids and a creamy texture. Good Pinot presence.”

Serving Suggestions: This is a wine that will add an element of festiveness to any gathering. Perfect for a celebratory toast, this cuvee is equally happy alongside food. The blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay make this a versatile accompaniment to any menu.
