Lovely. More winey than champagney. Starting to show secondary characteristics but still very fresh.

An elegant mousse with fine bubbles. It is a solid Chardonnay , the nose has green apple, with a lite honey, and faint honeysuckle. An explosion of tastes on the palate, honey crisp apple, little nuttiness & yeast. Clean finish long finish

Delicious, well balanced and not overly dry, as drunken at the 1473 Foundation Gala this year
