Medium lemon color, aromas of stone and citrus fruits with yeasty notes, significant Pinot Noir in blend. On the palate flavors of apple and pear with lemon citrus zest and floral notes. Fine bubbles, light mousse, medium finish ending with fruit, citrus and yeasty biscuit character. Pair this with shrimp cocktail. — 9 months ago
Yes to a previous comment of strawberries and cream. Clean and just the right kind of dry. Pleasure to drink. — 4 years ago

We drank the 2012 in 2024, and it was starting to show its age. A little bit of sherry color was creeping into the palate, muting the fruit. But still delightful! — 9 months ago

My first experience with this producer. Popped and poured. A sort of pink salmon color with persistent mousse. Delicate red fruit and lightly toasted bread with strawberry jam on the nose. On the palate, peaches and raspberry. There’s good acid. The finish is dry and long. Great value. No disgorgement data. — 4 years ago

Drank with a farmer in Kenya, his eyes lit up. We are talking smallholder value. Perfect bottle for the moment. — 22 days ago
