Description

Product description for Waris-Larmandier Les Montchenevaux au Levant, Oger Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs 2014

Wine Information

Les Montchenevaux au Levant comes from a single vineyard in Oger. The grapes were harvested by hand and pressed in a traditional 4,000 kg Coquard press. Only the juice from the first run was used for fermentation. It fermented and aged spontaneously in 600-liter Burgundy demi-muids. Malolactic fermentation followed alcoholic fermentation. Aging sur lattes lasted at least five years. The bottles were disgorged by hand and not dosed.

Colour

Light golden yellow with a fine mousse.

Nose

Les Montchenevaux au Levant is a champagne made from ripe grapes, reminiscent of ripe yellow apples, quinces, plums, nectarines, and oranges, as well as dried fruit. The fruit contributes a hint of fruit ester. The juicy, ripe impression is complemented by quite dark, burnt brittle, tobacco, and notes of wood aging.

Palate

On the palate, the champagne is also ripe and expansive, yet silky and round. The acidity here is restrained and ripe, and the mouthfeel is definitely reminiscent of fruit juice. Overall, this is a winey, mature, and sensual sparkling wine, which is further emphasized by the subtle pressure of 4.5 bar instead of the usual 6 bar.
