Jacques Bruére Cap Classique Blancs de Blancs, SA
75cl / 12.5%
Tasting Notes
This Blancs de Blancs has hints of fresh lime and citrus, complimented by a subtle yeastiness. It shows a great finesse on the finish with a crisp, rich and creamy complexity. The base wine was kept on the lees for 8 months initially during the first fermentation. 10% of the Chardonnay was barrel fermented. The `magic of the bubbles` begins during the second fermentation that occurs in the bottle thereby extending maturation on the lees for 96 months.
About the Producer
Located in the heart of the beautiful Robertson valley – a valley of wines and roses – lies Bon Courage Estate, home to some of South Africa’s finest wines and recognized both locally and internationally for their exceptional quality. The stately Cape Dutch homestead dates back to 1818 and the estate has enjoyed the attention and dedication of three generations of the Bruwer family since 1927. The Robertson wine region is today renowned for wines of great depth and concentration, a result of the ideal soil and climatic conditions that prevail in this region. Three rivers runs through the estate and have, over the years, deposited a variety of different soil types on the farm. Due to this diversification of soil and microclimates, a wide range of grape varietals can thrive in the same area. André Bruwer has acknowledged the basic maxim (truth) that good wine is mainly created in the soil and has, therefore, put much effort into matching the correct cultivar to the ideal soil type. Although ”tradition” plays a big role at Bon Courage Estate, careful but extensive modernisation has allowed the team to combine the best of traditional methods with those of the modern age. This combination allows them greater freedom and flexibility when creating the present and future Bon Courage wines.
