Base vintage 2015. Disgorged Nov. 2019. Far outperforms for an estate’s basic wine. Relatively full-bodied, complex, and very satisfying. Now I’m interested in exploring their higher qualities.

Very rich oxidative style. Nuttiness and complexity, perhaps a bit short on the finish

Not amazing but solid. Great bubbles. Citrus and pear. Not a ton of depth or complexity.

Quite good bubbly, brisk acidity with lots of minerality in the palate, more subdued apple/fruit tones. Very dry and good.

High in flavor, and holds the bubbles for Sunday brunch leftovers.
