Lalvin CY3079

LALVIN CY3079TM – Premium wine yeast for complex Chardonnay wines

LALVINE CY3079 TM is a selected Saccharomyces cerevisiae-wine yeast and is considered Reference yeast for High-quality barrique-fermented Chardonnay wines. The yeast strain was produced by the B.I.V.B. (Bureau Interprofessionnel des Vins de Bourgogne) selected at Burgundian locations.

The yeast ferments evenly, but tends to slow down towards the end of fermentation. This is ideal for one extended yeast contact (sur-lie extension) and promotes the development of Complexity, creaminess and mouth fullness.

Early autolysis produces typical aromas such as Fresh butter, toast, honey, hazelnut, vanilla or almond. The release of polysaccharides contributes to a round, supple and creamy mouth feel at
