Beautiful light and airy composition. Top-notch producer. Bubbles than dance. Think fish.

8.5

Strong lees character, parmesan rind, something slightly saline, sliced almonds, and brioche. Minerality is less pronounced than champagne, but still chalky.

Elegant! Tiny bubbles always present. At the palate, lime zest, pear, peach, brioche, minerality. Delicious!
Well pair with creamy pasta sauce with porcini.

Fermented in barrels basic wine gave great results after bottle aging. Sweet brioche, rich pears and yellow apples on the nose. Medium+ body still has fine acidity and very long finish. 92/100
