Classic Cuvée is a blend of the three classic Champagne grapes: 42% Chardonnay, 29% Pinot Meunier and 26% Pinot Noir. Based on 2017 with around 3% reserve wine, disgorged December 2023. Like the other Mountfield sparkling wines, it is fermented in stainless steel and oak by the traditional method, with long lees ageing.
Golden colour, persistent bubbles. Green apples, citrus, brioche, hazelnut and a trace of honey on the nose. Fuller-bodied than the Blanc de Blancs, with a fine mousse, balanced acidity and a finish where the brioche returns.
