Mestres Coquet 2019
HK$ 266.12
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The youngest and most approachable of the sparkling wines from Mestres, the 2019 Coquet Gran Reserva Brut Nature mixes grapes from their own vineyards with purchased ones but is produced with the same care as the rest of the range—fermented and kept in stainless steel, but with a shorter aging with the lees in bottle, 42 months in this case, also closed with natural cork. It still has a mixture of fruit and flowers with spice and yeast notes and a lively palate with abundant bubbles, fresh and with nice balance, finishing dry. Quite remarkable for the price. 76,880 numbered bottles produced. All the bottles carry the disgorgement date on the back label. The bottle I tasted was disgorged in November 2023.

Description
Mestres Coquet is a cava that stands out for its casual and original character, while maintaining the quality that characterises the Mestres winery. Made from a combination of Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada grapes from our own controlled vineyards, some of which are over 50 years old.
Winemaking
Mestres Coquet undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks and a second fermentation in the bottle, initially closed with natural cork. Ageing is carried out for more than 42 months on the lees in a horizontal position, which gives it a remarkable complexity and structure. Each bottle is disgorged by hand, without freezing, ensuring maximum quality and preservation of aromas.
Taste
Mestres Coquet offers a fresh and elegant flavour profile. On the palate, it stands out for its good acidity and a saline character that gives it a sapid touch, which translates into a round and tasty sensation. The predominant flavours include notes of fruit and fresh white flowers, complemented by a background of Mediterranean herbs and yeasts, adding an extra layer of complexity. The result is a well-balanced cava, with fine bubbles that form a constant crown, and a long finish that makes it an excellent choice for pairing with a variety of dishes or enjoying on its own.
This cava, despite its affordable price, achieves a superior sensory experience, a reflection of the care and tradition that Mestres puts into each of its creations.
