Walldorf Description

PLANT

The name of this wine comes from local slang for naughty boy or little rascal – a word that Max apparently heard from his parents a lot when he was little! A couple of decades later, the little rascal is making a stunning méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine that’s so well-behaved and elegant you’d easily take it for a good grower Champagne.

Grapes: Pinot Noir 60%, Chardonnay 30%, Pinot Meunier 10%

Vineyard: limestone. Estate-owned and farmed organically by Max himself

Making of: the current edition is a blend of vintages 2017, 18 and 19. All grapes were hand-harvested, direct pressed, the wines then spontaneously fermented and aged on lees in neutral oak barrels for a varying amount of time. Blended at the beginning of 2020, bottled for the secondary bottle fermentation and left on yeast for 27 months. Disgorged in May 2022, zero sulfur and zero dosage added.

Personality: stunningly pure and enjoyable. Elegant notes of toasted bread, nuts and a little yeasty touch reminiscent of good French bubbles, with a nice velvety texture perfectly intertwined with tiny bubbles, vibrant acidity and mineral finish. Serious yet incredibly easy-drinking, this wine is a much-welcome refresh at any moment of day or tasting – we just can’t get enough.
