Medium gold with fine bubbles. Some apple, honey and brioche on the nose. Medium body with crisp acidity but creamy and notes of red and green apple, lemon, honey, melon and toast on the palate with a medium-long finish.
Anecdote: the cork broke! So, we had our first try at sabering a bottle of sparkling and it went really well (and saved the day and wine!).

Delicious. However stylistically it tasted more like a Brut rather than Blanc de Blancs. It lacked the precision, crispness, and everything else I love about BdB. Perhaps this is a function of age. I would have guessed 50/50 PN and Chard. Delicious, none the less.

pale straw, fine stream of bubbles. Golden delicious apple, lemon, cream, yeast. Well integrated, well built wine with decent structure, but stylistically a bit more ripe than I like. I found myself wishing for a little less fruit and a little more mineral.
