Crisp, clean, apple, lemon with the usual toast and biroche and enough acidity to keep it all fresh. This wine continues to be our "house" bubbly and we continue to enjoy it.

Have been drinking a lot of the '16 and '17 vintages in the past year and this bottle was excellent. Maybe because it was served so cold, and the '16 is a bit fuller than the '17, whatever. Consistent with citrus, apple, yeast and crisp acidity.

Subsequent notes on this wine. Light, pale gold in color with a constant & fine perlage. Full, fragrant, & aromatic nose of ripe fruit aromas of green apples, citrus notes of lemons/limes & pear with overtones of yeasty/brioche & floral notes, some baking spices & minerals notes. Light bodied with a good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, zesty, ripe fruit flavors of green apples, lemons/limes & pear with yeasty, baking spices & minerals. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present but has the fruit & structure to continue development with a few more years of additional aging. Very good QPR for a domestic sparkler.

2 bottles over last 2 weeks. Continues to be consistent with the usual citrus and steely acidity it always shows.
