Elegant and finely poised, the 2022 Madam Lucy Méthode Cap Classique is a beautifully crafted blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, showcasing both precision and charm.
Pale straw in color with a delicate, persistent mousse, the nose opens with lifted aromas of fresh citrus, green apple, and white peach, driven by the Chardonnay component. Subtle notes of toasted brioche, almond pastry, and a hint of lemon curd emerge from extended lees ageing, adding depth and sophistication. The Pinot Noir contributes a gentle layer of wild strawberry and a faint floral nuance, enhancing the wine’s aromatic complexity.
On the palate, it is crisp and vibrant, with Chardonnay providing a clean, mineral backbone and bright acidity, while Pinot Noir lends a soft roundness and texture. Flavours of citrus zest, orchard fruit, and a touch of red berry glide across the palate, supported by a fine, creamy mousse.
The finish is long, refreshing, and elegantly dry, with lingering notes of chalky minerality and subtle pastry richness.
Refined yet approachable, Madam Lucy captures the essence of cool-climate MCC—balanced, expressive, and effortlessly graceful.
Food pairing: Ideal with oysters, sushi, smoked salmon, or creamy cheeses.
Serving suggestion: Serve well chilled at 6–8°C; no decanting required.
