About This Wine
Producer Notes
With an emphasis on craftsmanship, Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard produces distinctive sparkling wines in the traditional method. Extended lees contact builds weight and texture on the palate. A focus on early ripeness underpins subtle fruit notes with a vibrant structure. The Cuvée Brut 2019 is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Its fresh acidity is complemented by a lean mineral crunch and active mousse. 39 months on the lees.
Critical Acclaim
What a vibrant and precise nose of lemon blossoms and brioche. So elegant and so creamy on the impeccably balanced palate, with great finesse. Very long, crystalline finish. Disgorged in March 2024 after 43 months on the lees in bottle. Drink or hold.
The 2020 Cuvée Brut is a blend of 51% Chardonnay and 49% Pinot Noir that spent 45 months en tirage before being disgorged and given a minimal dosage of 2.5 grams per liter. It's medium-bodied, creamy and lush in the mouth, rounder and softer than the Blanc de Blanc, despite being practically the same dosage, with some meatiness to it, a hint of stone fruit and just a bit of citrus lingering on the finish.
