Playful fleshy apple and cherry on the nose, Perrine Fresne Sarmate has a precise and focused delivery. It keeps the trajectory on the palate with some lovely lemon peel notes. It's really layered with an interesting sandy, chalky texture and a long finish. The perfect balance between complexity and freshness creates a vibrant and distinctive drinking experience.
The number 1 of Sarmate is Perrine’s first effort to make the best wine of a vintage from her village, using reserve wine to keep a base level of consistency (and quantity) while showcasing the attributes of the 2020 vintage. To be precise, 73% of the wine comes from the warm 2020 vintage, whose fermentation started with neutral Champagne yeast. The wine never underwent malo, whereas the 27% of reserve wine, from her father’s stock, did complete malo. The élevage was all in steel over winter and the wine was bottled in July to rest on its lees for 18 months before disgorgement. Dosage is 2 grams
