The Wine Advocate - 30th Sept 2022 - Luis Gutiérrez - 2016 Gramona • Brut Imperial - 92/100 - $38 - 2022-2026
The 2016 Brut Imperial, their flagship sparkling wine, comes from a very dry and warm year, and the wine is open. It was produced with 47.5% Xarel.lo, 30% Macabeo, 15% Parellada and 7.5% Chardonnay that matured in bottle for 64 months. All Corpinnat wines have on the back labels the disgorgement date and the months spent sur lie. These are very traditional wines, where they have implemented very, very few changes, and now with Corpinnat, they have reduced the percentage of Chardonnay. It was adjusted to 7.75 grams of sugar that feels quite integrated and softens the sharp personality of the wine. This is certified organic, and in the future, it will also be certified by Demeter. 550,000 bottles produced.
