Picking the fruit later than is common for this region develops phenolic ripeness, while implementing long lees aging and keeping his interference to the absolute minimum allows the pristine fruit to show off every ounce of character. Harvested by hand, the red Meunier grapes see a short maceration for a dusty-pink hue, while the chardonnay is direct pressed for fermentation.

Picking the fruit later than is common for this region allows for fuller phenolic ripeness, while implementing long lees aging and keeping his interference to an absolute minimum (meaning a sprinkle of sulphur to avoid the growth of undesirable bacteria), his lineup offers incomparably honest accounts of the year, land and grapes. Due to the nature of the deep clay “Les Cumines” plot, the chardonnay was more slowly ripened, which promoted a richer, fuller-bodied expression, and was direct pressed before a long sleep. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-token-index=\"0\" class=\"notion-enable-hover\"\u003eWedding day florals kissed by reduction, concentrated minerality that feels positively pulled from the ground, grapefruit peels, sugar water fed to hummingbirds, pineapple bingsu, a few drops of iodine \u0026amp; a grilled almond touch of oxidation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!-- notionvc: af8a36d6-f7da-44cc-b17f-ec9b5363e1aa --\u003e Open to commemorate a new day, new move or new year!\u003c!-- notionvc: 52e3fd96-3f34-4e1d-a0ea-25aadff33f13 --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timothée Stroebel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46899225002162,"sku":"WINE-GWI-TIMOTHEE-STROEBEL-LE-VIN-TRANQUILLE-COTEAUX-CHAMPENOIS-BLANC","price":250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/7396\/2930\/files\/01_16_26_030.jpg?v=1770767037"}],"url":"https:\/\/grapewitches.com\/collections\/last-chance.oembed?page=2","provider":"Grape Witches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
