The 2016 growing season started with a temperate winter which brought on early bud break in our estate vineyard. Bloom followed shortly thereafter and veraison went all the way through by mid-July. Overall 2016 was marked by cooler temperatures, which allowed to the grapes to mature very evenly for an extended period without any erratic weather events such as heat spikes or rain forcing our hand to pick. The result in the glass is a classically styled and balanced Cabernet Sauvignon.

This wine displays a nearly opaque purple-garnet hue in the glass. Aromas of ripe blueberry, baking spices, tobacco and violet emerge from the glass in waves. The mouthfeel is marked by a mature, ripe tannin structure making for a sleek, creamy experience. Palate notes are marked by tobacco, black currant, brambly black fruit, lavender, mint, and mocha. This wine has a seamless trajectory loaded with complexity that will allow it to drink well for at least 15+ years.

REVIEWS

“On first taste the Denali came across as a true high powered Napa cab with loads of fruit…While many of our tasting notes aligned with your description, including the blueberry and tobacco, one of our friends got hints of what she thought was rhubarb and another got the taste of the candy Sweet Tarts that she used to eat as a kid. Another was strongly convinced she tasted sweet and sour cherries and perhaps plum…As our friend Katie noted, ‘This wine would be trouble if I had a few of my girlfriends over, I could enjoy this all night.'”

Clear yellow hue with a golden tinge. Fine and delicate bubbles. White-fleshed fruit aromas with hazelnuts and almondson the nose. Citrus aromas give way to more evolutionary notes and elegance. A beautiful freshness in this Champagne.

Region

Located in Vaudemange, a small village located north east of France, the family vineyard is located at the foot of the Regional Park of the Montagne de Reims in a village classified 1er Cru. Thanks to its chardonnays, Vaudemange is part, with three other communes, of the soil nicknamed “Pearl White” of the Mountain of Reims. We bring our full awareness to the care of the vineyard and the work of the wine until the elaboration of champagne.
