Raumland XIV. Triumvirat Grande Cuvée Brut German Sekt Réserve

The Triumvirat XIV is the Grande Cuvée from Raumland: a Sekt with pressure on the palate and at the same time a fine structure, built for all those who appreciate bottle fermentation with long yeast storage.

Raumland is a Sekt house in Germany that focuses entirely on traditionally produced Sekt. The cuvée combines Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. It matured for 100 months on the yeast, far longer than legally required. 32% of the cuvée was aged in barriques. The mineral character comes from the shell limestone soil.

In the glass, there are nut butter, freshly baked bread, and stone fruit, plus brioche and hazelnut. The perlage is fine, the appearance powerful yet harmonious. The minerality brings freshness and precision; the style is Brut, i.e., dry.

Recommendation: as an aperitif or with fried poultry, scallops in butter, and mature hard cheese. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a wide white wine glass so that the aromas can unfold.
