I think RGCM Gananda nailed it with their description of this wine. I was not able to taste this at the winery and bought it blindly...given how wonderful their Cuvée Brut was...this was a significant let-down. This presents as a simple, strait forward bubbly that offers clean fruit but almost no complexity on the nose or palate. I would not be buying this again. At the $40 price-point there are actual Champagnes that offer more complexity and value than this does.

Tasted at the winery. Yeast and toast on the nose. Soft fruit at first, but quite dry. Picks up RS as it approachs the finish. Nice balance between fruit and acidity through the middle. Overall, perhaps a bit lighter than I was expecting and not quite as complex.

Excellent sparkler, crisp and yeast with great fruit and acidity.

Crisp and mineral with some richness, perhaps owing to the 5+ years that this wine spent on the lees, making for a pleasing overall profile.
