36 bottles only. Disg. Oct. 2019. Made only in exceptional years, Millésime spends a staggering 96 months on lees―a number almost never seen in Champagne. Jack and Lois Doeven’s chilly Drumborg vineyard provides the fruit for this Blanc de Blancs, and the site’s inherent energy is heightened in this particularly cool year. The Lethbridge approach reigns supreme when it comes to the cellar: wild barrel ferments, full malolactic conversion, exposure to oxygen and no sulphur. “We’re making wine first and bubbles later,” explains Ray. “The base wine must be complex; the complexity is what frames the journey.” This is a floral, savoury beauty, rich with elegance, precision and a strikingly detailed close.

Reviews

“…the 2011 Millésime is a refined, pure expression of chardonnay with the lemony, biscuity layers of flavour that come from nine years on lees.”
Max Allen, Australian Financial Review
“Strong sea spray, wet fern, lemon-lime and blossom scents with whiffs of grilled nuts in the mix. Brisk across the palate with a lean, racy pulse of salty acidity, crunchy green apple and lime juice. Some richness in oily notes, slightly distracting buttery-soapy, really long and fine finish compensating with a starburst of pulpy grapefruit finishing things. Refreshing, energetic, bright and intense. Works in two speeds, stays interesting in whatever gear you find it in.”
92 points, Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
