Esses Kaikōura Dame Syme Méthode Traditionnelle 2014, Marlborough, NZD $85
A blend of chardonnay and pinot noir that has been aged on the yeast lees for 55 months. Seductively creamy texture with baguette crust/brioche and roasted chestnut flavours. Lovely wine showing the benefit of bottle age on the lees. (Mytik)
