A landmark vintage release from John Anthony, marking the first single-vineyard edition of La Dame Michele. A sparkling wine born of the standards practiced by the great Champagne houses, with five years spent en tirage. Aromas of Fuji apple and fresh almond anticipate notes of citrus blossom, lemon shortcake and lychee. The mouthfeel is flush with structure, delicacy and length, exhibiting refined effervescence and luscious acidity. A masterful wine that will age beautifully for decades to come.

“The La Dame Michele Blanc de Mélange is the fifth release from our sparkling wine series. A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this sparkling has backbone and body, supple fruit and a fragrant delicacy that will age beautifully. With a light peach hue, the Blanc de Mélange’s color matches its stone fruit aromas along with a bouquet of chrysanthemum and chamomile. The palate has energetic focus, creamy bubbles and structured fruit and spice. Pluots, white strawberries, ginger and French toast intertwine with notable balance. The finish is bright, rich and dry and is the most complex La Dame Michele to date.”
"This fourth release of the multi-vintage La Dame Michele is from chardonnay. Bright citrus aromas of key lime and lemon peel comingle with undertones of jasmine, water flowers, toasted almond, beeswax. Wonderfully dry with bracing acidity. Green apple, grapefruit and Asian pear on the palate. The lively mousse and persistent bead are elegant. This sparkling finishes with minerality and a hint of brioche."

“Our inaugural release of this Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine from predominantly Chardonnay. Orchard fruit and dried lemon aromas intermingle with fresh walnut and wild white flowers. The texture is broad for a dry sparkling wine and precise in its effervescence. On the palate baked pear and apple persist with citrus pith and fig as backdrop. Almond crepe and honeycomb provide a balance of flavors that linger in a long finish. This is our most serious sparkling wine to date.”
“A delicate peach and rose petal color with a bouquet of rhubarb and orchard fruit that is complemented by dried floral notes. The wine is bright and energetic upon entry with white raspberry, blood orange and stone fruit flavors that confirm the resulting complexity from additional time on the skins. Ginger, cardamom and beurre Suzette on the finish."
