EMPYREUMATIC BRUT 2014
GRAND CRU
Our 2014 vintage keeps its promises of originality by being the ideal companion of predominantly Umami-based dishes (the 5th flavor: the hyper gluttony and the flavorsome taste).
Racy, powerful, spicy, with toasted aromas, we name it as it is: EmpyreumatiC. Let yourself be transported into its world and marvel at its many facets.
WINEMAKING
Alcohol and malolactic fermentations (completed) in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats.
50% of the clear wines are aged in a 10hl cask

TASTING NOTES
Eye:
Golden hue with subtle amber reflections. Nice dynamic bubble train.
Nose:
First nose is very expressive with notes of mocha, hazelnut, grilled almonds, and blond tobacco. At the opening, notes of menthol and cedar are revealed.
Palate:
Aery, with aromas of passion fruit, almond cream enhanced by subtle vanilla notes. The fresh finish offers a nice length on the lemongrass.
