Classic Vintage Brut 2020

2020 Classic Vintage Brut

The 2020 Classic Vintage Brut is considered the “flagship” of the Iron Horse bubblies. It shows everything the family strives to accomplish, striking memory bells that say “champagne” in quality and finesse, but with flavors that are unmistakably Sonoma County, Russian River, Green Valley and most distinctly Iron Horse.

Customer Reviews

“If you ever want to prove that the U.S. does Sparkling Wine as well as any country in the world, this is the wine you want to offer.”

Dave Y.

2019 Vintage – “Subtle, complex and elegant, this refined wine offers an intricate array of crisp lemons and limes against light toast and bread dough accents. Most of all, a vibrant yet polished texture makes it a pleasure to sip. 94 points, Editors’ Choice.”

Wine Enthusiast

2019 Vintage – “Crisp yet luscious, with tantalizing hazelnut brioche, nectarine, lemon custard and spice flavors that build richness on the finish. Drink now through 2026. 94 points.” – Tim Fish

Wine Spectator Magazine

TASTING NOTES

Beautiful gold straw color with fine, persistent bubbles. The Classic Vintage Brut has aromas of green apple, honeysuckle, and a hint of fresh brioche. The inviting nose leads to flavors of baked apple on the front palate, with honeysuckle really shining through on the finish. This wine has bright acidity, a touch of creaminess, and a delicious long, lingering finish


WINEMAKER NOTES

The dosage for this wine is 6 mls of Brut LEX, 6 mls of 2021 Rued Chardonnay, 4 mls of 1986 LD Blanc de blancs.
