The older 2014 Celler Batlle Brut Nature is the first vintage of this wine from 75% Xarel.lo and 25% Macabeo from the Font Jui vineyard to be offered with zero added sugar (as a brut nature). It fermented and matured in bottle with the lees under a natural cork that gives the wine a spicier twist (curry) from the old solera rancio wine added. 2014 was a cooler year with more rain (even more than 2013), and they implemented some changes, mainly the zero dósage in the wine, with no added sugar, which seems to have improved even the texture of the wine. It’s super tasty, spicy and dry. I think this has to be the finest vintage of Celler Batlle so far. 7,000 bottles produced. It was disgorged in October 2023, nine years after the harvest. There will be some changes from 2015, produced from a specific lieu-dit or “paraje.”

The 2014 Celler Batlle, a Corpinnat sparkling wine, is a blend of 75% Xarel·lo and 25% Macabeu sourced from Penedès. Crafted in the traditional method, it spent 110 months on lees and was disgorged with a liqueur addition but no sugar. Yellow in hue, it boasts a strong bakery- and sherry-like nose of saffron, curry and delicate undergrowth. Dry and ethereal, the refreshing palate is full of tertiary nuances, all carried by a mousse-like texture. This is a wine of prowess.
