'Solange' Methode Traditionnelle Marlborough Blanc de Noirs 2022
Named after Henri Bourgeois’ wife; the ‘Solange’ Methode Traditionnelle honours her memory and her importance at Clos Henri. As the namesake for our famous Chapel, Solange carefully stands guard over the small parcels of Pinot Noir which grow in the Chapel’s view.
Delicate and capricious; offering delicately flavoured white juice, Pinot Noir provides the perfect base for our Blanc de Noirs.
Excerpts taken from Solange’s actual handwriting, form the centre of the label. It is a sparkling wine with vivacity and elegance much like its namesake, it dances on the palate, the same way the native Tussock Butterfly flits across our clay bound hills.
Serve with fresh oysters or as a delightful aperitif on its own
Very pale salmon colour. Quite a decadent nose with hints of wild strawberry, tonka bean and watermelon. The palate is flavoursome, full-ish and off-dry with plush fruit, almost tropical in intensity and ripeness, finishing with a hint of raspberry and white chocolate. Mouth-filling and creamy but refreshingly balanced on the finish with a late touch of phenolic grip. 93 points, Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review 2024
