Cava Codorníu – Gran Codorníu Chardonnay Reserva

Gran Codorníu Chardonnay Reserva it is the true reflection of a grape, a terroir and a vintage, the best expression of the Chardonnay grape from our vineyards older. The fruit notes stand out in this Brut Nature cava. Its magnificent structure has its source in the fermentation in contact with oak for part of their base wines and in the ageing for more than 15 months.

DEVELOPMENT (VINIFICATION) We plan the optimum moment of harvest for this variety. After the destemming and pressing of grapes, we obtain the musts which ferment at a temperature of 15-17 °C for 12-15 days. A part of the must of Chardonnay fermented in contact with oak, getting new shades. greater structure and complexity. Once you have completed the fermentations, is performed the blend and bottled the resulting wine along with the expedition liqueur, that determines your dosage Brut Nature. Bottles made the second fermentation followed by an aging period of a minimum of 15 months contact with the lees of the yeasts in our underground cellars at a constant temperature (15-17 °C). This is the traditional method, also used in the production of champagne.

VINEYARD (VITICULTURE) The Chardonnay grapes used in production come from Costers del Segre, area marked continental climate, with large temperature differences between day and night and with poor soils and shallow, that avoid excessive vigor of the vineyards and provides great concentration, body and greater intensity of aromas of ripe fruit in the cava. Cropping systems follow the criteria of integrated production and are particularly adapted to the production of sparkling wine. The harvest takes place towards mid-August and is always carried out during the night, in order to keep the grapes as fresh as possible and preserve their intense aroma.

The Winery

The group Codorníu Raventós it is the family business more ancient of Spain and the 17 the world. Over 460 years of history dedicated to the production of wines and cavas of great value have led us to erect 10 wineries in the best wine areas of the world.

The cava it is a sparkling wine of quality, elegance and versatility, supported by the Denomination of Origin Cava (O.D.. Quarry). Has a long tradition and a unique personality. It is elaborated following the traditional method of second fermentation and aging in the same bottle. A wide range of champagnes of different styles and dosajes in our brands Codorníu, Anna de Codorníu, Ars Collecta or Cuvée, respond to all the expectations of consumption .

The origin of cava is situated in 1872, when Josep Raventós develops, in the municipality of Sant Sadurní d'anoia, the first bottles of cava following the traditional method of second fermentation and aging in bottle. Currently we produce more than 240 millions of bottles a year of the D. Or. Cava and Sant Sadurní continues to be the town where is concentrated the greater part of the development but also allows his production in other areas of Spain.

The three traditional varieties grapes in the elaboration of cava, the Macabeu, Xarello and Parellada, have special characteristics that complement each other. Codorníu pioneered the introduction of the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, original Burgundy. Codorníu has the oldest wine of these varieties in Spain and is the hold that meets a greater experience in your wine making. Other varieties used in the production of rosé cavas are Trepat, Monastrell and Garnacha. The grape varieties of Codorníu define our style: tradition and innovation.

The secret of a good cava is elaborated with grapes of the highest quality, and this can only be achieved with a good selection and the meticulous care of the vineyard. The cava of Codorníu was born in the vineyards of the property. From many years ago, in Codorníu we apply them the techniques of viticulture sustainable, namely, we let nature take its course and only intervene when there are mismatches. Each grape variety is different and requires a climate and a soil special.

Codorníu is the only producer of champagne which uses grapes from vineyards of three climatic zones are very different within the D. O. Quarry. It is a trait of exceptional that allows us to plant each variety in the area where it is able to display all of its expressiveness and, at the same time, provides Codorníu as a potential unmatched to be able to create different styles and types of champagne.

These three climatic zones are:
• The Penedès, soil type clayey-calcareous and mediterranean climate, where the grapes of traditional varieties, Macabeu, Xarello and Parellada express all their original typicality.
• Conca de Barberà, a zone with moderate continental climate ideal for the cultivation of the Pinot Noir variety, from which we get grapes with a mineral touch thanks to the slate floors.
• Costers del Segre, the most continental of the Catalonia interior, where the great thermal amplitude between day and night produces grapes with a high aromatic concentration and flavors, and a vibrant freshness ideal for the varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

The development process is key for the elaboration of cava, called traditional method or champenoise. We characterized a unique style for our cavas by combining grapes from local and international cellars elegant, very expressive, fresh and aromatic, respecting the character of the grape variety and the terroir.
