La Motte Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) originates from Franschhoek. The Chardonnay, as well as Pinot Noir grapes from which the wine was made, were produced on La Motte. Vineyards grow against a southern slope 200 metres above sea level. Degorgement was in March 2017 and only 3 500 bottles were released.

On the nose: Yeasty and aromas of baked bread are prominent, followed by nuts and ripe pear fruit.

On the palate: A fine mousse promises an exciting, fresh wine with dimension. Lots of secondary aromas. Soft foamy entry, finishing in lingering and tight after-taste. Very refreshing, with a long presence.
