Jean Velut Lumiere et Craie Sip Edition Magnum
Utterly gorgeous wine specially aged and disgorged exclusively for Sip.
Bottled in 2017, as a perpetual reserve, then disgorged 6 years later in September 2023. Gorgeously generous nose full of brioche, honey, salted caramel and this brilliant fresh, chalky element which perfectly balances those two contrasting components. The wine has a Charles Heidsieck like element to it with this stunning buttery play and wonderful sweet elegance on the finish. This is so good!
House Profile
One of the very few producers in the village of Montgueux and for us, one of the very best. He works with 7.7 hectares of mostly Chardonnay creating a playful style of wine that flirts with oxidation. Their wines charm from the outset and their Lumiere et Craie is a fascinating wine made from reserve wines, (does not have a "base year"). Creamy, layered and complex.
