From the Winery
True to our French origins, all Blue Pyrenees sparkling wines are created using the traditional “methode champenoise” system, meaning that the bottle you are drinking from is the same bottle in which the secondary fermentation occurred. The Blue Pyrenees Vintage Brut 2012 also expresses the special qualities of the component wines chosen when creating this consistent house style. The Blue Pyrenees team has incorporated the best cuvées from the three classic sparkling varieties - Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, each presenting varietal and regional characters, creating a beguiling complex blend. The judicious use of small amounts of reserve wine adds more complexity and maturity whilst helping to maintain consistency from year to year.
