Description

This is a wonderfully elegant and refined Franciacorta made with 100% Chardonnay.  The palate is soft and creamy, showing peach, apricot and exotic candied fruits alongside perfectly poised acidity and a refreshingly tangy finish.  This wonderful Franciacorta underwent secondary fermentation in bottle (as per Champagne) and was aged on its lees for 24 months prior to disgorging, and then for a further 2 months in bottle prior to release.


The Berlucchi family winery was founded in 1955 by Guido Berlucchi, Franco Ziliani and Giorgio Lanciani. Together, they transformed Franciacorta into one of Italy’s most prestigious regions for the production of sparkling wine. Franciacorta’s renaissance began with Guido Berlucchi’s creation of the very first Classic Method wine in 1961. With a pioneering spirit, Berlucchi introduced and promoted expertise that had not existed in Franciacorta until that point, inspiring many other passionate, forward-thinking producers to follow suit. Together, they transformed this region into the crown jewel of Italian winemaking.

Gosset Grande Reserve Champagne Half Bottle.JPG

NV Gosset Grande Reserve, Ay, Half Bottle

Champagne Blend

This cuvée has a bright and golden colour. The nose is dominated by the freshness and the fruit. The Chardonnay brings finesse sustained by notes of yellow fruits such as peach and Mirabelle plum. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and generous. The Pinot Noir of Ay gives its structure. Hawthorn and white flowers merge naturally. Acidity is expressed by citrus fruits.

2015 Bollinger La Grande Annee, Ay

Champagne Blend

Only made in the best years, the Bollinger Grande Annee is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay fermented in oak.  The 2015 has stone fruits, plum and honey on the nose initially, with more red fruits coming through.  Plump, rich and generous on the palate with red fruits and plum giving way to citrus acidity and an elegant vein of minerality.  Enjoyable now, this terrific wine will age gracefully for years to come.
