Tasting Notes

Disg. Aug. 2023. As Champagne drinkers, Ray Nadeson and Maree Collis have always had a soft spot for the richer wines of the Côte des Bar. Ray sees similarities between the Côte and Jack and Lois Doeven’s well-established site in Drumborg. It’s very cool and home to low-yielding vines on schist soils. Inception is the first step on the Nadeson Collis journey, predominantly Chardonnay (89%) from 2020. The remaining 11% is drawn from the 20-year-old perpetual blend, which includes small portions (approximately 15%) of Pinot Noir and Gris from the Doeven site and a small portion of Meunier from another cool site in Drumborg. The fruit is pressed as whole bunches and ferments naturally in barrique and foudre. The wine matured in wood until June 2021, after which it rested on lees in bottle until disgorgement in August 2023. Dosage was a low 1.5 g/L.
