Apple and ripe pear dominate the fruity profile but maintain a citrusy freshness, in a round and balanced frame. It’s a delightful sparkler without being too serious. Made with mostly Pinot Blanc. 90 points. December 2021

Pale yellow green. Lots of wispy chains of fine bubbles. Nose has mineral, pineapple, green apple, unripe pear, rose hip tart funk. Good balance of palate, more rose hips, stone, lemon, and apple. Medium-long finish. Good concentration and fullness of flavors. 91-92.

ok, but not my style. Moderately fruit forward, with nice apple, pear, and melon flavors. very light mousse and overall light-med body. slightly lacking in acidity. Tart, thin finish. Like I said, it has pretty good QPR, but I prefer heavier, yeasty styles.

tasted at Total Wines' 'Sparkling and Champagne' wine class in Palm Beach Gardens, FL (Total's discounted price was $16.99); made from Pinot Auxerrois and Pinot Blanc grapes; straw colored, highly aromatic bouquet; tasting revealed an ample fruit character with a good balance and lingering finish; recommended
