Chandon
Cuvée 205 2021
POWERFUL YET PRECISE, WITH GREEN APPLE, PRESERVED LEMON AND TOASTED ALMOND
An exploration of texture and innovation, Cuvée 205 is fermented and matured in rare 205-litre barrels — a nod to craftsmanship and curiosity. The oak influence adds subtle depth and spice to cool-climate fruit from Whitlands Plateau, creating a sparkling of precision, richness and layered complexity.
TASTING NOTES
Creamy apple with preserved lemon and layered spice
"A full bodied style, loaded with creamy apple and citrus fruit, with ground spices building across the palate. The mousse is fine and persistent, tannins and acidity working together to bring lift and drive. The finish shows a crisp biscuity dryness that immediately draws you back for another look. An impressive wine that will work best with food."- Stuart Knox, The Real Review
