The 2007 Vintage Brut expresses the special quality of the component wines chosen for blending to create a consistent house style. The Blue Pyrenees team has incorporated the best cuvées from the three classic sparkling varieties – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, which represent excellence in varietal and regional character. The judicious use of small amounts of reserve wine adds complexity and maturity whilst helping to maintain consistency from year to year.
