LALVIN ICV D47™
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
Product details
LALVIN ICV D47™ is a Côtes du Rhône isolate from Suze-la-Rousse for the production of full-bodied barrel fermented Chardonnay and other white varietals including Muscat. When left on lees, ripe spicy aromas with tropical and citrus notes are developed. In most of the white grape varieties, this yeast brings ripe fruits and intense aromas. This can be partially attributed to high β-glucosidase activity. It allows for the revelation of good levels of terpenes, including citronellol, nerol and geraniol. Due to release of polysaccharides, this yeast contributes to a round, soft palate with good weight. Moreover, it also contributes to the wine’s silkiness, persistence and complexity. Excellent results are obtained for the production of top-of-the-range Chardonnay fermented in barrels.
