Super ripe fruit fell short on complexity in the glass. Will revisit in near future :)

Great stuff for the holidays. Apple and apple sauce spices. Lots of great bubbles and medium acidity. Extremely fresh and lively. 12.5% must buy for value at Costco if you can find it.

Dec 26th, 2022Lean and balanced. Primarily white flowers and lemon, nutty and soft elements linger in the background for balance. Mineral and tart yet approachable on the palate. Very good deal from Costco

Dec 31st, 2021Nutty biscuits & a touch of marzipan with a fresh note of grated lemon peel. Ripe green apples underneath. And a whiff of verbena.
On the palate this is surprisingly (for a BdB) focused & precise. Fresh acidity, nice froth, a tart mouthfeel (slight tannins?). with fresh lemons & crunchy tart apples + a hint of a brioche note. Good length & persistent tiny bubbles.
Low dosage, too low perhaps?
A great food wine.

Pop and pour...didn't find any disg. info. On the nose:.sweet apple, lemon, soft butter, coppery notes.. On the palate: fantastic acidity, lemon, soft coppery notes, good density and a touch of oxidative golden apple on the finish. Lovely mousse, and good length on the finish as well. Very nice.
