This is a blend of Pinot Auxerrois, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. You know as soon as you taste it, it’s not the three traditional grapes associated with champagne or sparkling.

Lemon, lime pulp w/ zest sprinkled in, some beeswax, green apple, tropical melons with some honey dew rind, pineapple juice, cream that is slightly whipped, sea spray, some sea fossil notes-oyster, understated white & chalk, volcanics, limestone, bread dough notes, yellow lilies, spring flowers, round acidity with a decent finish that is highly polished & leans more into fruit as it sets. — 2 days ago

Let’s qualify this statement by saying that I’m not a wine connoisseur. That said, I really enjoyed this wine. Not overly sweet and smooth.. — 3 years ago

Picking up a juiced pear on the nose today, but otherwise prior notes still apply:

Nose has ripe yellow apple, lightly oxidized green apple peel, baked phyllo dough, partially aromatic white flowers and damp rocks. I always get a natural wine vibe here, without the vinegar-like profile, but it seems alive!

Palate has baked green and yellow apple pastry, crisp acidity yet dense, candle wax begins on the finish and ends with dry granite. Great balance, very lengthy finish, clean and not cumbersome, superb vintage, long life ahead. We love you Jean-Jacques. — 5 years ago
