Its delicate bubbles are a product of its meticulous nature, highlighting the celebrated traditional 'champenoise' method it is crafted with. The wine's gorgeous, salmon-pink hue complements its alluring bouquet, offering a truly delightful tasting experience. This Brut is beautifully balanced, making it a perfect partner for various culinary delights.

Tasting Notes

Our pale pink 1682 Pinot Noir Cap Classique is fresh with fruity aromas of raspberry jelly, wild strawberry sorbet, red apple skin and toasted brioche. The wine has a very fine mousse that lifts the raspberry-like aromas and is balanced well with a creamy texture and bright acidity with a lingering dry finish. Enjoy in its youth or cellar for 3 to 5 years to promote a more savoury flavour development.
