Underripe pineapple nose shows lemon zest, steely lime, ethereal jasmine, cool grapefruit, green pear, pea purée. Zesty lemon leaps from the glass and races along the palate, finishes lime and key lime, with a mineral oscillation. Chalky and refreshing simultaneously. Very satisfying dance of exotic starfruit and yellow pear tomato. Ginger and grapefruit build to a crescendo on an refreshingly buoyed, boisterous conclusion.

All apples and lemon drop on the nose with firm but not aggressive acidity in the mouth. Refreshing, clean and a splendid aperitif

Favorite Champagne varietal, & when it's from a great producer from GC fruit it really shines. Really solid wine.

Crisp and with a light zing. Brioche notes but subtle and lingering. Great presence but not aggressive. Nice finish.

A clear pale gold in the glass. Some very nice perlage with small, zippy bubbles that are quite persistent. Medium intensity on the nose with lemon drops and nectarines immediately. All vibrant citrus at first whiff with tangerines and orange slices. Chalky minerality and moist stone abounds here with green apples beginning to dominate the nose in a very pleasant manner.

Creamy and vivacious at times, this is a very pure expression of Chardonnay from le Mesnil sur Oger. Zippy yet restrained acidity and innate freshness. A core of herbs and slightly toasted bread dance on the tongue. The star of the show is the minerality. Just wonderful here and really elevates the whole package. Medium long finish showcasing those citrus fruits. A really fun Blanc de Blancs.
