Ideal for all high quality white wines with intense varietal expression such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Moscato. Allows an optimum aromatic expression for the production of wines derivated from neutral grape cultivars. As an aromatic yeast strain, Cote des Blancs also showed very good results on sparkling and rose wines.
- Yeast Strain: Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Fast fermenting strain that ensures a regular fermentation even at low temperature (12°C-14°C, 53°F-57°F). Little temperature increase in case of fermentation temperature is not controlled. Alcohol tolerance: >14% vol. Low production of foam and very low volatile acidity and sulphur compound production with an adapted nitrogen contribution (balanced addition of organic and mineral nitrogen).
Oenological Properties:
- Wines obtained with the Cote des Blancs yeast strain present very fine fruity aromas
- This strain respects typical varietal aromas of the grapes and intensifies primary aromas, especially those of very aromatic grape cultivars such as Sauvignon Blanc and Moscato
- With a good nitrogen supplementation, Cotes des Blancs can also produce a high quantity of fermentative aromas that value wines obtained from neutral grapes
