About this Item

2008 CWG Non Plus Ultra Cap Classique
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were whole bunch pressed and only the cuvee fraction used. A small portion of Chardonnay was fermented in Piece Champenoise barrel to promote the creamy texture and complexity. The Pinot Noir adds palate weight and length of flavour. The wine was matured for 50 months on the lees prior to disgorgement.
Tasting Notes: Gentle mineral notes with fresh lime and ripe citrus on the nose. Rich raspberry notes burst on the palate with a creamy and gentle mousse, ensuring richness and finesse.
Auction Year: 2013

Critics Ratings

‘Pale gold. Very leesy citrus on the nose, sour-dough bread. Layered richness and sharpness, power and structure yet with a surprisingly delicate mousse. Good length. I'd rather drink this than any number of champagnes that are widely available today.’ - Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Sep 2013)
