Chandon Vintage Blanc de Blancs 2006

Fresh lemon sorbet and pistachio aromatics are complemented by subtle nougat and coriander leaf notes. Classic chardonnay generosity provides a soft and mouth filling entry, with fine, crisp acidity providing the structural backbone to support a generous mid-palate. Vibrant citrus zest and white peach characters excite the palate, with toasty, nutty yeast autolysis notes delivering richness and creaminess from the mid-palate through to the finish.
Grapes were sourced from a range of cool climate sites including our Green Point vineyard in the Yarra Valley, along with vineyards in Strathbogie and the King Valley. The cool climate of the Yarra Valley and the high Alpine regions produce Chardonnay base wines with tight palate structures, vibrant fruit characters and high acidity. Soils at these sites vary from free draining sandy loams to aged alluvial loams with high clay content. Vineyards are planted to various densities depending on soil types, with an average yield between 10 and 12 tonnes per hectare. Most vineyards are trained to the standard vertical shoot positioning trellis to minimise the development of phenolics and tannins whilst maintaining vibrancy of flavour.
