Kettemeir’s Brut Athesis is a Chardonnay-based blend, blended with at least a third Pinot Bianco and a touch of Pinot Noir to enhance its smoothness. The three varieties are vinified separately and aged, entirely in stainless steel, until spring. At that point, the wine is bottled with the addition of the liqueur de tirage, after which it rests on the lees for at least two years. 100ml: E = 335kJ/80kcal
The straw-yellow colour that fills the glass becomes brilliant thanks to the play of the bubbles, which create a fine, persistent perlage. The nose is very pleasant, balanced between the fresh, fruity notes of apple, pear and plum and the yeast notes typical of the classic method. We find the same pleasantness on the palate, where the taste is deeply fresh and vibrant, underpinned by aromas of dried fruit. An excellently persistent finish.
A delightful bottle, perfect as a classic aperitif with friends, or as an excellent accompaniment to fish and shellfish dishes.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 8–10°C.
