Colmant Blanc de Blancs blend, created from a special selection of Chardonnay, is the epitome of Chardonnay expression – fine, elegant and fresh. Our crème de la crème, an elegant expression of
distinctive excellence.

Colmant Blanc de Blancs is made from Chardonnay off selected vineyards in Franschhoek, Elgin, Hemel-en-Aarde and Robertson. True to house style, a portion of the base wine (15%) was barrel fermented and 20% of the wine is specially selected from the previous year’s harvests. The wine undergoes its long 45 to 48 month maturation on the lees before final release. It can be enjoyed now but will develop beautifully over four to five years.

Dosage: 4,0 to 4,5 g of sugar per litre.

Tasting Notes: Lime blossom aromas vie with fresh citrus, distinctive green apple vibrance and richer notes of toasted bread and brioche from long maturation. On the palate lively bubbles carry flavours of vivacious – and typical – citrus zest set against a creamy backdrop of minerality, a faint sheen of wood, roasted nuts and broad, mature note of bread and toast.

Food Pairing: For ultimate enjoyment the intense freshness and elegance of this wine pair it beautifully with delicate seafood dishes such as pan fried scallops, oysters or line fish “au beurre blanc”. This wine also complements the flavours of parmesan, asparagus, artichokes and parma ham.
