Ployez-Jacquemart

Liesse d’Harbonville 2002 | Bottle 75cl - Presentation pack

Description

Cuvée Liesse d'Harbonville represents the quintessence of Maison Ployez-Jacquemart. It therefore requires very special attention, and is only produced in great years. It is vinified differently, while retaining the personality of the vintage.

The 2002 vintage is considered one of the greatest of the last 20 years. The month of September was exceptional, offering a unique concentration of berry aromas.

Made entirely in oak barrels, the blend is still the same: 66% Chardonnay, 17% Pinot Noir and 17% Meunier. The first fermentation is carried out in the barrels, and malolactic fermentation is blocked, allowing us to mature wines with very fine, elegant aromas. Simple topping-up and racking are carried out between harvest and bottling.

The wine's barrel ageing creates great richness, structure and complexity. The natural acidity of this blend, despite a minimum of 10 years' ageing in the Maison's cellars, brings out the character of the year while retaining exceptional freshness. The Extra-Brut dosage is 3 g/L.

Cuvée Liesse d'Harbonville 2002 has a golden color and delicate, persistent bubbles. On the palate, fruit fragrances dominate. A true alliance of white fruits, red fruits and citrus fruits, the palette of aromas expands to deliver gourmand notes of honey with a hint of empyreumatic undertones. The finish is long and fresh.
