Who likes bubbles? WE DO! We have the new vintage Blanc de Blancs Brut by Melissa Nelsen of Genevieve. YAY!
This MCC from 2016 is 100% Chardonnay and for the first time includes fruit from Melissa’s home WO of Bot River as well as from the original vineyard 20km north, near the town of Villiersdorp.
As with all her Brut wines, the 2016 spent 3 years on lees – this gives the wine a lovely rich and creamy texture to balance out the pristinely fresh Chardonnay fruit. This vintage has an opulence and a delicious immediacy to it; you want to keep drinking it.
“The nose shows peach, citrus and some pleasant yeasty character while the palate rich and full with a creamy mousse. Nicely weighted and that much more immediately accessible than the 2015” — Christian Eedes, winemag.co.za
