The 2008 Milesime Brut Reserva is a pure Chardonnay from 35-year-old vines cultivated in Espiells with manual remuage and aged in bottle for 36 to 42 months. It has a distinctive, wild mushroom, tertiary bouquet with fine delineation. The palate is lively and tense in the mouth with that mushroom note lingering off stage. The finish offers bruised apple, fresh pear and a touch of fresh asparagus, all with satisfying tension and length. This is an intriguing Cava with an individual personality. Drink now-2016.
Juve y Camps has been run by three generations of the family, debuting their first sparkling wine in 1921.
