Green fruit esthers, quince, pear, chalky minerals, on the nose. Lots of pretty green and yellow fruit on the open knit palate, with pleasant bit of contrasting bitterness and sweetness on the finish, and enough acid to carry the bubbles. This is great, planning to hold a few bottles for 5-10 years.
Incidentally, handily beat the Lassaigne side by side, at a third the price.

Jan 1st, 2018A nice entry into the world of sparkling Loire Chenin. Dry and crisp, but also full of plenty of baked pear and apple drizzled with honey. Best pretty cold, as it warms it loses some of the tension that keeps it interesting.
