2017 Late Disgorged Le Rêve

Nearly a decade aging sur lies en bouteille (on the lees, in the bottle), our limited-production Late Disgorged Le Rêve is an opulently layered masterpiece. This wine is an ultimate expression of 100% Chardonnay with a testament to our finest estate fruit, consummate méthode traditionnelle winemaking, and patient cellaring. Extended lees aging elevates our tête de cuvée to unparalleled heights and combines outstanding vintage structure with remarkable depth and elegance.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, dynamic layers of caramelized pineapple, honeycomb, and white flowers unfold to brioche, pie crust, and candied orange rind. Bright yuzu and lemon curd lead to a creamy, expansive mid-palate with extraordinary tension, concentration, and length. The mousse is soft and elegant with vibrant minerality that is beautifully counterbalanced with a lingering, textured finish. Additional cellaring has elevated this spectacular 2017 bottling with length and structure that linger on the palate yet beckon another sip.
