Drinking surprisingly well for a 12+ years old
bottle fermented Chardonnay & Pinot Noir Cap Classique, initially the
bubbles were quite shy but as the bottle were exposed to air, for some
mysterious reaction the bubbles were back to life, in fact it lasted a good 15
hours after opening!! The wine have certainly matured, though color is still
pale straw, the bouquet shows a maturity rarely encountered in MCC’s, as the
vast majority are consumed within +/- 3 years of release.
This is testament MCC wines can mature and
evolved.
