Great structure but accessible now, dark earthy fruit profile with a bit of game, leather and smoke — 4 months ago

Vintage 2017 | 100% Chardonnay from vineyards more than 50 years old. Work in the vineyard done with a horse. 3 gr/l dosage. Bio/Demeter wine. Disgorging 10/2020. Delicate and refined, smell with hints of lemon and apricot. Beautiful apple smell. Needs aeration to express itself. Balanced taste. Paired with scrambled eggs breakfast. — 9 months ago

Excellent! Can't beat it for $12. Apple juice aromas. Apple, pear, citrus, and yeast on the palate. Off dry/semi-sweet style. A perfect NYE eve drink while preparing for tomorrow night. 60% bical, 35% arinto, and 25% maria-gomes. — 2 years ago

As deep as its colour, but still fresh, it paired just fine with both fish and game… and it’s a bargain! Highly recommended. — 4 months ago

Really great sparkler. Tons of acid and some tropical fruit, citrus, tart green apples really shine, but just enough body to give it some balance. This is clearly all about the acidity though. I could see how some would not enjoy that part of this wine. — 3 years ago

Oh soo good, in a rich, decadent style. Not what we normally drink, but great bottle. Part of our “farewell to NY” week. Highly recommended. — 8 months ago

In the beginning, it was a bit restrained yet charming and sophisticated. Ripe fruits of good quality, grapefruit, baked apple, brioche with cinnamon, ginger, chalk and mushrooms. The aftertaste is long and flavourful. Deliciously saline mouthfeel. After a few hours, it became more intense and seamless. Great structure with salty minerality, good acidity and a long linear finish.
