plume by lake chalice methode traditionnelle nv (6x750ml)
Trust your Taste
Lemon zest, biscuit and baked pastry give Plume a gently savoury sparkling character. Citrus and dried fruit run through a textured palate, shaped by long bottle ageing. Try it if you enjoy bubbles with pastry-like depth as well as freshness.
?
Moderate weight, very little grip and balanced citrus freshness with pastry detail favour Sensitive palates. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.
This suits you if you enjoy textured sparkling wines with citrus, biscuit and pastry flavours.
It may not suit you if you prefer simple, strongly fruity bubbles without savoury notes.

How this wine feels
There is a textured, gently rounded middle, with citrus keeping the finish clear. Biscuit and pastry flavours are as noticeable as the fruit. It has little drying grip and a balanced feel rather than a strongly fruity or plush style.
The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
How much presence and firmness the wine has in your mouth.
The drying, gripping feeling on your gums.
The fresh, mouth-watering edge of the wine.
Bitter, herbal or savoury character beyond the fruit.
How smooth and rounded the wine feels.
Ripe fruit character. This is not a sugar-sweetness rating.
Ripe fruit flavours can be present in dry wines. Sweet-Fruit Expression describes fruit character, not residual sugar.
Behind the bottle
Primarily from Rapaura Road vineyards in Marlborough, blending Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Separate tank and seasoned-barrel base wines, followed by bottle fermentation and at least 30 months resting before disgorgement.
