Pretty wild strawberries and a slatey mineral core lurking beneath. On the palate refreshing and some secondary notes coming through then an electric steely backbone. Lean and delicate but has a good future. — 15 days ago

Adore this wine! Too many Crémants seem to be bottled a day or two after their 9 months minimum but this feels like it’s had longer. Gorgeous colour with hints of gold, beautifully pure and focussed, very dry (probably Extra Brut) with lemon, green apple, hazelnut and light pastry & Parmesan notes. There’s also a light oxidative bruised apple note that adds real character to the wine. A fantastic alternative to cheap Champagne, a very grown up fizz, in my mind if Bollinger made Crémant this would be it. If you’re looking to step up from Prosecco this is probably too austere for you but if you already appreciate Crémant or Champagne you should love this!" — 2 months ago

Nice medium gold hue. Vibrant nose. Good steady small bubbles. Notes of fresh baked bread, Meyer lemon, gravel stone, apricot, warmed apple slices and some spice. Chewy structure. Lasting finish. Can’t think of better juice at the moment for a day at the beach. — 20 days ago

Deep, complex, and highly expressive. Very good for the price point. More in the style of Bollinger. — 3 months ago

Color and bubbles like any good-quality Franciacorta, but this wine was stunning on the nose and palate with bees wax, honey and nuts like a mix of an -02 Person on the nose and a Bollinger brut on the palate. Amazing. — 4 months ago

Compared to a 2008 Bollinger Grand Annee, the complexity here and overall mouthfeel outdid the Bolly. I was wondering what everyone was crowding around in the back room, but quickly figured it out. Pours to a light pale straw hue. Nose of creme brulee and cashew. Entry with small bubbles. Very oxidative style and does not care what you think about that! Does not have high acid. I was getting peaches and pears, with a nice oxidative bready creaminess with a rather smooth and long tiny bubble finish. Wow. Doing WELL. — 3 months ago
