Château Purcari 1827 Grande Cuvée de Purcari Extra Brut Limited Edition

Château Purcari, located in the southwest of the country within the IGP Ștefan Vodă, benefits from rolling hills, limestone bedrock, and fertile black soil — an ideal terroir for grape cultivation. True values do not change with time. Purcari remains Purcari. Since 1827.

Wine has been made in Moldova for thousands of years, but it is only in the last couple of centuries that this small country has drawn international attention for its excellent wines. In 1827 Tsar Nicholas I issued a special decree recognising Château Purcari as the first official winery in Bessarabia which is today known as Moldova. This iconic estate is located close to the Black Sea in the south-eastern corner of Moldova. French settlers in the region quickly noticed the similarities between the local terroir and their native Bordeaux since the area sits at the same latitude as the famous French wine region and also boasts the same rubidium-rich soil types.

This Grande Cuvée de Purcari Limited Edition was created from the best harvest of 2016. The grape varieties in this cuvée are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which give it additional elegance and finesse, as well as Pinot Blanc, which gives it a mineral note. Because the word that characterizes this cuvee is “Elegance”. The long aging period of 36 months in the bottle gives it a sparkling, persistent and fine bubbles.
