Cote des Blancs is a relatively slow fermenter, producing less foam. The yeast requires nutrient addition for most chardonnay fermentations. Cote des Blancs produces fine fruity aromas, and by lowering the fermentation temperature, it can be forced to finish with some residual sugar.
Recommended use: Reds, Whites, Sparkling Cuvees, and non-grape fruit wines.
Ideal Fermentation Temperature: 64-86 F (17-30 C).
Alcohol Tolerance: 12%
