High-acid and crisp, giving real tension and a clean frame. Bubbles are fine and soft with a light, gentle mousse. Light-to-medium bodied with a fairly simple flavour profile — autolytic complexity is limited (around one year on lees) — so overall this sits at 'Good' rather than 'Outstanding'.

The base wine ferments naturally on wild yeast with no commercial strains added. The following spring the base wine goes into bottle for a second fermentation, with a small dosage of sugar and yeast added. Bottles rest for over 24 months in the cellar of an old Tibetan stone house beneath the snow mountains, where the lees slowly release complex notes of bread, biscuit and toasted nuts. Riddling and disgorgement are done entirely by hand. Dosage is extremely low (\u0026lt;5g\/L), close to zero, letting acidity and minerality take the lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Cru Tasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA hint of lees character with a distinct texture, and pronounced acidity (more lees character than the ZAXEE sparkling).

Whole clusters are gently pressed, taking only the purest free-run juice as the sole base. Before fermentation, the juice undergoes precisely timed micro-oxygenation followed by natural, oxygen-free settling at low temperature, preserving maximum terroir character. The clear juice then goes into medium-toast French oak for 10 months, using a pre-oxidation technique that lends extra maturity and roundness. A slow, complete alcoholic fermentation is followed by a spontaneous malolactic conversion. The wine rests on fine lees in barrel until early the following summer, with only minimal racking. Bottled directly with no fining or stabilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Cru Tasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAromatic and fruity, with plenty of creamy oak and vanilla from the micro-oxidative process, plus a savoury edge. An oak-driven style that plays well with most local palates, but the high acidity and pronounced minerality give it good overall complexity. Worth cellaring a little longer — the oak is currently slightly forward, and time will bring better balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTotal Production: 260 bottles\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nocontrol Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57088078708902,"sku":"NC-WT-01","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5116\/3046\/files\/NC-WT-01_NocontrolMontMist_std_white_bg.png?v=1787235934"}],"url":"https:\/\/highcru.com\/collections\/yunnan-chardonnay.oembed","provider":"High Cru","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
