Ambriel have always taken the long view when it comes to crafting their wines and Cloud 10 is the ultimate expression of that philosophy - with a decade of ageing it more than lives up to its name. Made from 70% Chardonnay, 27% Pinot Noir, 3% Pinot Meunier, and bottle-aged for over 10 years on lees, Cloud 10 is beautifully evolved yet still remarkably fresh. Layers of baked apple, lemon curd, toasted brioche and almond unfold with grace, while the fine mousse and vibrant acidity keep everything lifted and precise. Complex but not complicated, luxurious without ever being heavy.
