Critical Recognition

James Suckling 95 pts
  • 95 Points - James Suckling: This is all about finding purity in a true blanc de blancs style. Racy and mineral-edged aromas of lemon peel, grapefruit, oyster shell, salted almonds, white flowers, biscuits and hazelnuts. The palate is mid-weighted with a saline and coastal feel beneath a creamy, textural mouthfeel, showing real citrus drive with no hard edges. 100% chardonnay. 24 months on tirage. 5 g/L. This is a wine to watch and is pure class. Drink or hold.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay: Sourced exclusively from the Karridale sub-region in the deep south of Margaret River, crafted by Vasse Felix's dedicated sparkling wine house, Idée Fixe.
  • Terroir: Karridale is defined by relentless Southern Ocean influence. Constant sea breezes create Margaret River's coolest microclimate, perfect for preserving the racy natural acidity and saline coastal feel essential for world-class sparkling wine.
  • Winemaking: Crafted via the authentic Méthode Traditionnelle. The pristine Chardonnay is hand-picked and gently pressed to yield only the most delicate, pure free-run juice.
  • Elevage: Matured on its lees (tirage) in the bottle for 24 months. This extended resting period builds complex autolytic aromas of biscuits and hazelnuts, ensuring a seamlessly creamy mouthfeel with absolutely no hard edges.
  • Vintage Profile: Finished with a low, precise dosage of 5 g/L, the 2022 vintage is an exercise in pure class—balancing real citrus drive with a captivating, mineral-edged purity.

Tasting Notes

Pouring a brilliant pale gold with a remarkably fine bead, this Blanc de Blancs is entirely focused on true varietal purity. The bouquet is racy and sharply mineral-edged, layering bright lemon peel, grapefruit, and white flowers over savory nuances of oyster shell, salted almonds, fresh biscuits, and hazelnuts. On the palate, it is mid-weighted and incredibly seamless. A distinct, coastal saline feel underpins a luxurious, creamy texture, driven forward by a vivid streak of citrus acidity that leaves a long, mouthwatering finish with zero hard edges.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve well-chilled at 46-50°F (8-10°C) in a tulip-shaped sparkling wine glass or a standard white wine glass to capture its detailed autolytic and floral aromatics.
  • Decanting: Not required. An exceptional, pure-class aperitif that pairs flawlessly with freshly shucked oysters, scallop crudo, or delicate gougères. Drink now or cellar with confidence.
