Beautiful color resembling rosegold with lively bubbles. Fresh citrus (lemon curd) aromas, and punchy acidity, this mid-weight sparkler appears to be 2015 vintage and just less than 2 years on the lees, kept in stainless steel and zero dosage. On the level of top Cremant d'Alsace and other similar wines.

Bright and elegant, this is a delicious take on gamay. Aromas of strawberry, pear, brioche, dried flowers and wet stones. Flavors of forest strawberry, bread dough, lemon zest and wet stones, with a hint of raspberry.

Brut nature elaborado a partir de gamay vinificada en blanco. Dorado con algún destello caldero. Nariz bien perfilada, manzana verde, toques de frutillos del bosque, algo de nata ligera... En boca entra bien, burbuja bien integrada, bastante frescura, notable longitud. Muy disfrutable.

Toasty, autolytic style, mid-rich. Interesting sparkler that is different than champagne rather than being merely less as most (not all of course) non-champagne sparklers are IMO.

Rich, warm and champagne-like with notes of toasted nuts.
Amazing wine for the money. Would buy again in a heartbeat.
