MORE INFORMATION:
The epitome of ultimate exclusivity and supreme elegance, this extraordinary Cap Classique showcases our craft in all its exacting and passionate attention to detail. The
Cuvée Clive exudes polished poise, prestige and unmatchable complexity, with all the finesse necessary to make it the consummate partner to life’s more cherished moments.
This benchmark Cap Classique is produced only in exceptional vintages and in extremely limited quantities, using only the highest quality juice (tête de cuvée) from the first
ultra gentle whole bunch pressing.
The Chardonnay portions combine seamlessly to create a bouquet of rich
peach, apricot, apple and citrus aromas, with alluring hints of spice and toasted almonds
form the barrels. The Pinot Noir elegantly dances through these aromas and adds layers
of complexity on the palate with fresh cranberry, pomegranate and spicy undertones. The
palate is elegant and fresh, while the lengthy time spent on lees has created a succulent
texture which lingers long after the last sip.
