A Sparkling Wine with Patience and Character
The LR series from Griesel & Compagnie represents sparkling wines that have been given more time – time to mature, to breathe, and to develop. The Chardonnay Prestige Brut Nature 2020 was allowed to remain on the lees for an exceptionally long time, developing a remarkable structure, fine perlage, and a creamy, almost silky texture. This maturity bestows upon it depth, elegance, and a fascinating balance between freshness and richness.
Aroma & Taste
The bouquet reveals notes of ripe apples, brioche, toasted almonds, and a hint of lemon zest. On the palate, the Chardonnay unfolds with firm minerality, delicate creaminess, and precise acidity. The lees aging imparts a nutty, finely structured aroma that lingers long and culminates in a salty, clear finish – a sparkling wine that is both powerful and refined.
A Sparkling Wine for Special Moments
The Griesel LR Chardonnay Prestige Brut Nature 2020 is not a sparkling wine for haste – it is an experience. Perfect as an aperitif, with fine fish dishes, seafood, or even mild cheese. It convinces lovers of great sparkling wines with its depth, finesse, and the unique interplay of maturity and precision. A true prestige product from German manufacture.
