Domaine des Dieux Claudia Brut Cap Classique 2016

Claudia is a traditional method bottle fermented sparkling wine made from Chardonnay (76%) and Pinot Noir (24%.) Claudia is synonymous with the celebration of life, and should be there at every occasion, be it a milestone or the pure enjoyment of life’s pleasures. It's lively acidity makes it an ideal partner for seafood and sushi and also contrasts beautifully with saltier dishes. Creamy lemon curd aromas mingle with perfumed red berries. Fresh and light in the mouth with a long finish of toasty brioche notes.

Gentle, whole bunch pressing and protection from oxidation yields clean, fresh juices free of harsh phenolics. This gentle handling, and cool fermentations help to preserve the subtle fruit of these delicate wines. Careful blending of the different base wines brings together the wines that will marry well when they undergo their transformation into MCC. Following their secondary bottle fermentation, wines will lie on their lees for between 4 & 5 years before disgorgement in which the yeast sediment is dispelled, and the bottle corked, where it will spend another 6 - 12 months before being released.
