Details

"Vollereaux Cuvée Marguerite is aged sur-lie for seven years, more than twice the time required by appellation rules. The grapes undergo 100% malolactic fermentation. 2008 was the perfect year to create the ninth edition of our Cuvée Marguerite. Harvest began on September 17th after a long winter & humid spring; the sunshine in July & early September resulted in perfectly matured grapes. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were in excellent condition.

Colour: Light straw with green reflections and consistent intense, fine bubbles.
Nose: Has great finesse, with aromas of lime mixed with fine floral notes like honeysuckle and white fruits like pear juice and white peach.
Palate: Fresh and soft. Smoke and vanilla notes show a racy maturity in the 2011 vintage, balanced by a vivacity to the palate from the effervescence."
