Good things come to those who wait. Given John Harris's background with Domaine Chandon you would expect to see a method sparkling in the Mitchell Harris stable.
This 2008 vintage wine was hand picked, primarily tank fermented and seeing no malo. Some 5% of the base saw the wine undergo wild fermentation in a 5 year old hogshead. The finished wine spent some 3 years 'sur latte' - stored laying down with the yeast still in bottle - prior to disgorgement in December 2011.
A lovely golden hued wine, lemon curd and brioche aromas with golden linseed elements wafting out of the glass. A fine mousse, the wine is minerally and toasty. The finish fine with a length of generous proportions. 93 - Very Good
