Purchased from Garagiste back in 2013 and still going strong. Clear, pale gold color. Very frothy, with lots of creamy mousse when first poured. Wonderful effervescence. Medium plus aromas and flavors of tart apple, tangy lemon, ginger spice, bread dough, and toast. Well balanced with fruit, acid, and bubbles all in harmony. Reasonable complexity. Very nice, long tangy finish.

Excellent bottle, with a character that leans towards the masculine, broad shouldered side. Rich and toasty yet still quite svelte. Definitely a repeat purchase given the reasonable price.

Very impressed with limited expectations. Agree with others' notes of citrus and apple, nice balance and just drinking beautifully. Perfect start to Christmas Eve.

Garagiste selection
Color: Beautiful pale, yellow gold with tiny bubbles
Nose: Complex tropical fruit and warm spices
Body/flavor: Medium; wonderful sparkly, buttery mouth feel; tropical
fruit and warm spice. Very well-balanced
Aftertaste: clean, vibrant
Accompanied appetizers of artisan cheese and salami. Garagiste recommended this NV good through 2017. In my opinion, it still has time to evolve!
