Vince magazine review of Lajver Blanc de Blancs Brut 2019

Light greenish yellow colour, attractive, consistent bubbles. Complex, medium intense nose with white flowers and fruits, discreet hints of notes from the maturation on the lees. A featherlight sparkling wine, balanced, easy to drink with some pleaseant tartness in the aftertaste.
Retail price at the cellar: 5600 HUF /

How was it made?

The decision was born in 2019. Lajver has 12 terraces at different altitudes and different exposures to the sun. For the sparkling the team chose the cooler one of the two Chardonnay terraces. The hand sorted grapes were pressed in whole bunches, and after controlled fermentation the base wine had some winter sleep while malolactic fermentation took place spontaneously. Tirage and bottling was carried on in March 2020 and after two and a half years of ageing on the lees they did the first disgorgement on the 3rd of November. The dosage is only 6 g/l, so it almost bone dry. As Rebeka Vida, the chief winemaker of Lajver described: “The notes of the 2.5 years ageing on the lees are more present on the nose with bread crust and toast, while the palate is more on the fruity side with citrus fruits and green apple. When tasting, we can also enjoy the complexity besides the fruitiness. Abundant in bubbles, refreshing acidity, long finish. Surprisingly enough there is a hint of petrol in the aftertaste.”

This first bottling is already sold out, the second is on sale now.
