Chapel Down Kit’s Coty Coeur de Cuvée 2016
Purity and finesse, apple and shortbread, peach and melon
Chapel Down’s Kit’s Coty Coeur de Cuvée 2016 is produced from only the very best blocks of Chardonnay within the Kit’s Coty estate. An exclusive, small batch release, only 1000 bottles have been produced, and are individually numbered.
On the nose one finds melon, peach and hints of butter and toast, while the palate has incredible purity and finesse, coming from a combination of the chalk soils and the specific pressing technique which carries the well-integrated oak and fruit characters perfectly. It displays a crisp and lengthy finish. In terms of winemaking, the hand-picked fruit was whole bunch pressed and the Coeur de Cuvée 2016 is made from the ‘heart of the first pressing’, the finest quality portion of juice extracted exclusively from the first press cycle. It then spent 7 months on lees in French oak.
Kit’s Coty Coeur de Cuvée 2016 is great as an aperitif or pairs perfectly with shellfish.
