The smoky flint of a storm mingles with fresh green apples trailing fragrant lemon blossom, sugared limes, ethereal sage and woody scrub; pinned in by deeper tones of piecrust, apple tarte tatin, roasted hazelnuts. The palate is zingy and fresh, and absolutely drenched in limes. The purity of fruit from this vintage shapes the clean, vibrant palate, rounded off with a creamy mousse. This decadence is keenly balanced by a limey acidity with twirls of orange rind and pink grapefruit. A hallmark of the growing season this taut acidity is in balance with the subtle, elegant richness of the dosage, allowing this fine Vintage-Only Cap Classique to linger with a finish of glacé stone fruit extolling into a pithy finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReady to explore the wine farm?

Cool, pure Pink Lady apples evolve on the palate edged with a flinty finish, as if cut by a steel knife. The precise, taut nature of the wine expresses the character of the vintage—a steely framework to support its full, soft mousse along a grain of toast with hints of oatmeal in the background.

Strikingly fresh aromas of spring meadows, heather and hay, a tantalising lift of bergamot coalesce into darker tones of ginger, honeyed tea and roasted nuts. Concentrated yet weightless the palate is a study in complexity with a duality of fresh and dried fruit: apples, pears, pineapple flash through toasty hazelnuts, marzipan and hints of truffle. A calling card of the 2012 vintage, the rapier-like cut of acidity is reminiscent of crunchy, green apples, refreshing the palate. The pillowy mousse washes in and recedes in accordance, like waves breaking on the shore, a kinetic dance between fruit and structure. The\u003cbr\u003efinish is long and layered, and resoundingly fresh, an incredible achievement for a 2012 vintage Cap Classique.
