Plaisir Brut Cap Classique NV

The Plaisir Brut Cap Classique NV is an exquisite expression of the classic French tradition of bottle fermentation, meticulously crafted by winemaker Niel Bester. A blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, this sparkling wine hails from the renowned vineyards of the Western Cape. The aging process, extending approximately 24 months in the bottle, endows this wine with a complex profile and refined effervescence.

Visually, it presents a light straw hue complemented by a fine, beady mousse that accentuates its elegance. The bouquet is a harmonious blend of pear, Granny Smith apples, and citrus, intertwined with subtle yeasty undertones, capturing the essence of its Chardonnay and Pinot Noir composition. On the palate, it offers a creamy texture with delicate toasty notes and a vibrant array of flavors—from citrus and stone fruits to tropical nuances and sweet glazed red cherries contributed by the Pinot Noir.

The finish is long, crisp, and refreshing, making it a perfect companion for delicate seafood dishes like oysters and scallops, or enjoyed on its own as a celebratory toast. The Plaisir Brut Cap Classique NV is not only a delightful drink but also a testament to the craftsmanship involved in producing a top-tier Méthode Cap Classique.
