Really pretty. Medium minus body, cherry/raspberry, spice, earth, great acid. Great with roast chicken. — 3 months ago
A lower ABV option at 10.5, it’s the perfectly light and refreshing! Persistent and smaller bubbles, with notes of green apple, stone fruit, and citrus. — 4 months ago
Floral, fruit, salt and mineral to balance it all. — 2 months ago
100% Grand Cru from Bouzy. 64% Chardonnay & 36% Pinot Noir. No dosage.
Definitely the most complex in the tasting so far. Fruits are nicely subtle. Strawberries, cherries, some blackberries, white citrus mix, pink grapefruit & white citrus with a touch of peach. Very soft, chalky powder, same for the limestone & volcanics, touch of white spice, undertones of saline & sea fossils, yeasty, brioche, pink roses and spring flowers, a very nicely woven structure w/ a softly & smartly polished finish.
