“Xarel·lo (85%) and Macabeo (15%) from old vineyards for the label dedicated to Marcel's grandfather, Josep, the man who started the family business, planting the first vineyards. Degorged 09/2019, 78 months on yeast. This is the most "Champagne" Corpinnat in the Sabaté and Coca range, with notes of lees well integrated with those of the varietal. Exemplary expression of Xarello, which is expressed here in a high concentration of aromas and in a large structure, well wrapped in the notes of pastry. Remarkable is the wrap of Mediterranean bush and iodine. A return trip from France to the Penedès.”
