{"product_id":"methode-champenoise-blanc-de-blanc-2023","title":"Methode Champenoise Blanc de Blancs 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur Methode Champenoise Blanc de Blancs 2023 begins in Carmel Valley, a Monterey County AVA where vineyards climb as high as 2,762 feet into the Santa Lucia Range and wide swings between warm days and cool nights let Chardonnay ripen slowly on chalky soils. We harvest early to hold on to natural acidity, press whole clusters right at the vineyard, and finish the wine the traditional way with a second fermentation in bottle. A 2% portion of barrel fermented Chardonnay adds depth, and an extra dry dosage softens the edges. The nose opens with honeycrisp apple, Rainier cherry and white peach, layered with almond croissant, parmesan rind and white tea. The mousse is rich and textural, the acidity bracing without stripping your enamel, and the finish turns flinty before settling on lemon tart citrus that lingers. This sparkling wine wants rich, salty food: an aged cheddar burger, grilled prawns with apple coulis, a salt bagel with lox for a slow weekend morning, or a board of creamy camembert, tangy chevre and crystalline aged cheddar. Pour it at your next dinner party, or wrap it as a holiday gift.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"City Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52083351257335,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/5429\/1959\/files\/2023-MethodeChampenoise.jpg?v=1793892063","url":"https:\/\/citywinery.com\/products\/methode-champenoise-blanc-de-blanc-2023","provider":"City Winery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
