From a half-bottle and, unfortunately, served in flutes. This is technically a Blanc de Noirs with 70% Pinot Noir and the balance Pinot Meunier. A fresh breeze of a wine. On the nose there are apples, pink flowers, wet stone, and lemon. On the palate, ripe apples, golden raspberries, brioche and minerals. Medium acid. A bit more on the round side of the spectrum. I wish the acid was a bit higher…but that’s personal preference. No disgorgement data on the bottle.

An absolute stunner for the price! Rich bubbles with killer acidity

Racy with citrus and brioche. Fine perlage and a clean finish.

Fresh and fruity style of grower Champagne. Aromas and flavors of ripe golden delicious apple and brioche with good body and medium fine mousse. Blanc de noir made of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Pinot Meunier.
