Chandon
Cellar Release 2013
AN EXPRESSION OF TIME AND CRAFT THAT REVEALS LAYERS OF COMPLEXITY
A decade in our cellars has transformed this cuvée into a masterclass in balance and maturity. White peach and praline meet a toasty richness, revealing the quiet power of time. Cellar Release is a rare expression of patience and precision — elegant, layered and deeply rewarding.
TASTING NOTES
White peach, walnut praline and apple tart
"...sourced from Chandon's vineyards at 800m in the Whitlands high plateau. A pale, bright green gold. Discreet and complex aromas of baked apple, lightly grilled nuts, acacia and lemon peel. Expands beautifully on the concentrated, even palate. Finishes saline and very long. A lovely wine to enjoy now and over the next three to four years." - 96 POINTS, Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
