Bright nose with tropical notes of underripe pineapple, lemon and lime. Lemon bread, white mushroom and chive. Silky mousse that leaps into lime the pineapple, lemon verbena, lime pith and creamy lemon. The yeast is there around the edges, but shapes more than defines. Textural perfection.

From a blend of 100% premiers crus Chardonnay grapes from recent vintages. Grapes from vineyards Sillery and Brimont (ancestral home of the Ruinart family), and other premier sites. Fine mousse and bubble flow. Citrus and Apple flavors with honeysuckle, toasty notes and lemon rind. Well balanced with nutty character, great mouthfeel on long finish, ending with mineral and yeasty tang. Nice!

A clean and precise nose of grapefruit, dough and a whiff of yeast. Palate displays close to neutral oak, honey, grapefruit and citrus notes, complimented by white flowers and granite. Cuts through the fat of the truffle-infused burrata perfectly. This has inserted itself as our house bubbly.
