A blend of 30% Chenin Blanc, 40% Cabernet Franc and 30% Chardonnay grown on schist, direct press, cool fermentation, 18 months sur lattes, disgorged October 2022, dosage 4-5 gr/l. Direct and fresh, crisp acidity and smoky minerality, floral and peppery notes, good fruit (apple, citrus), almonds and yeast, silky mousse, noticeable herbaceous bitters, tangy citrus finish. Good value.

Very dry and sharp as opposed to the creamier style I normally prefer. That said, I enjoyed this and would buy more at $30 (NZ).

Generous mousse, fine bubbles. Juicy and lifted. Piercing citrus and steeliness. Clean, balanced, agreeable finish.

Appealing aromatics! Fine bubbles. Substantive yet light. Delightful textures. Serious acid and balance. High quality finish. 88-89.
