2013 Bouvet Saphir Brut Vintage

Formerly owned by Taittinger Champagne, Bouvet Ladubay employs precisely the same wine making process as the Grand Marque itself, delivering French sophistication at an everyday price.

Our best selling Bouvet and a perennial favourite of customers.

A blend of Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc grapes the newly released 2013 vintage of Bouvet Saphir has already picked up gold medals at the 2016 Decanter World Wine Awards and 2016 Sommelier Wine Awards. It pours with a white frothy mousse which once dissipated reveals a pale straw coloured base wine with pale gold edges. Very fine bead showing excellent persistence. Pear and baked apple aromas emerge from the glass with hints of dried honey, light lemon sherbet and yeast lees also evident. Light, refreshing and with plenty of flavour the palate possesses pear, red apple and citrus characters over some light toast and yeast lees. Clean crisp finish with an aftertaste of pears, citrusy red apples, some baked characters and light yeast lees.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
