Fascinating and showing a bit of bottle age. Shows the area with sandy soils and a light character. Somewhat like Savart, but distinct.

Smells and tastes like pure, citrus-encrusted joy. Incredible acidity that helps keep this wine fresh while adding sublime lift to each flavor and nuance. I was impressed.

Bubbles and texture are dead on. Good racy acid but also slightly leaning towards richness with barrel. Such a great wine. Will drink this now and put away the extra brut:
