2022 Lena Sekt Blanc De Blancs, Extra Brut, Germany Barbichettte Sankt Aldegunder Himmelreich is comprisedThe Blanc de Blancs is mainly Chardonnay with a touch of Weissburgunder. Sourced from sites in Ingelheim, the grapes were direct pressed with fractioning used to focus on the cuve. The end of the press, or taille, is not used. The BdB saw aging mostly (about 2 3) in used tonneaux with no fining or filtering. Post tirage, the wine spent 24 months on the lees and has a dosage of 2 grams.
