Crafted only in the best years, étoile Tête de Cuvée is the ultimate single-harvest expression of CHANDON. French for "head of the blend", Tête de Cuvée is the first blend made by our winemakers each vintage.
The 2015 growing season was one of the earliest on record. The season produced low yields of exceptional grapes in our Carneros vineyard for a vibrant and elegant wine that is fresh and youthful on the nose and direct on the palate.
Elegant with a powerful palate and crisp acidity. Key flavors include: Lemon, Peach Cobbler, Baking Spices, White Flowers, Dark Chocolate
Assemblage occurs in the winter, at the end of the fermentation process, which involves the selection of 2015's best base wines for Tête de Cuvée. The second fermentation then occurs in the bottle and the ageing process begins, during which this wine spent 84 months on the yeast lees.
Seafood: Lobster Roll, Caviar, Seabass
Vegetable: Chanterelle & Lemon Risotto, Truffle Arancini, Creamy Cheeses
Dessert: Peach Tart
