"Chardonnay impresses, among other things, with its diverse expression in sparkling wines - from mineral-fresh to creamy - everything is possible when matured. The fresh taste is perfect for a high-quality Chardonnay sparkling wine - together with the very fine and velvety perlage, this Blanc de Blancs shows how elegant a sparkling wine can be." Nico-Lars Strieth, Oenologist, KESSLER Sekt"

| KESSLER BLANC RÉSERVE VINTAGE is a charming and creamy Chardonnay vintage sparkling wine that convinces with its finesse and elegance. It is also an exquisite accompaniment to fine dishes. The mineral and smoky aromas are striking and are combined with the fruity notes. Like the other two vintage sparkling wines in the "KESSLER Vintage" line, the KESSLER BLANC RÉSERVE VINTAGE matures for many months in the vaulted cellars under the Kessler house in the bottle on its own yeast. This top quality sparkling wine is also traditionally shaken and degorged by hand. |
