Est. in 1987, belongs to Champagne Taittinger (personal favorite) considered the concept in 1947 in the mind of Claude Taittinger. 138 acre estate is situated in the Carneros appellation of CA. A blend (changes ea year) of 35% Chard, 62% Pinot Noir & 3% Pinot Gris, aged 3 1/2 years in the bottle. Aromas of stone fruit and toasty spice. Raspberry and peach flavors, complex, with citrus notes in a fine mousse with good bubble flow. Well structured, vibrant lingering finish ending with mineral tones. Will benefit from some aging.

Toasty with a dominant note of membrillo paste channels from the nose to the palate. Really nice firm backbone with moderate length.

This is a very tasty Vintage sparkling wine from Carneros.
This 9 year old shows a great nose.
Dry on the palate with high acidity, and small bubbles.
Showing lemons, limes, spices, light yeast, minerals, black pepper and light grapefruits.
Nicely balanced, elegant and fruit forward, with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Good by itself or with food. A great sparkling wine to drink by itself at pool.
A blend of 62% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 3% Pinot Gris. Made in the traditional method. Aged in the bottle for 3 years on its lees.
12% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$35.

Extremely right sparkling wine. Elegant, aromatic, refreshing, and all in equilibrium. Nice color and persistent bubbles.
