2017 Brut Prestige Cuvée – 76 Months en Tirage
Traditional Method Sparkling · Estate-Grown · Only 80 Cases
The Evolution of 2017
Limited Release: March 2025 Disgorgement
This 2017 Brut Prestige Cuvée represents a specific moment in our cellar's history. With 76 months on the lees, this third disgorgement offers a distinct counterpoint to our earlier releases. The inclusion of 29% Pinot Meunier provides a generous mid-palate fruitiness that stands up beautifully to the savory autolytic notes developed over six years of aging.
The Profile: The mousse is integrated and seamless. Aromas of baked apple and citrus peel lead into a palate defined by roasted hazelnut and a chalky, precise finish. It is powerful yet elegant, showcasing the longevity of Yamhill-Carlton sparkling wine.

Winemaker's Perspective
"This disgorgement sits in a beautiful window. It has shed the nervous energy of youth but retains enough tension to age for years to come. The hazelnut note specifically is a hallmark of the extended lees contact." — Kimberley Kramer
Service Recommendation: Serve at 50–55°F in a white wine glass. Allow the wine to breathe for 5–10 minutes to fully reveal the toasted lees character.
