The sekt »Chardonnay Prestige« brut nature, vintage 2017 from the winery Griesel & Compagnie has been rated in 2021 by Ulrich Sautter with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the region Hessische Bergstraße in Germany.
On the nose it is as intensive as it is refined, the partial development of the basic wine in oak provides for smoky notes, in addition, some red apple and also yellow fruit, some apricot. Fine mousse. On the palate, the fine texture from long maturation on the lees meets with wonderfully animating freshness, the sparkling wine is crisp, dry, precise, straightforward and taut, but also has drive and power with plenty of elegance.
More about the tastingThe nose is as intense as it is fine, the partial ageing of the base wine in wood provides smoky notes, as well as some red apple and light yellow fruit, some apricot. Fine mousse. On the palate, the fine mellowness from the long ageing on the lees is combined with a wonderfully animating freshness; the flint wine is crisp and dry, precise, very straightforward and full of tension, but also has drive and power despite its elegance.
