  Green apples and citrus, with perhaps a touch too much acidity.

  Bubbles that smell of creme brûlée and taste like rich, creamy chocolate and toasted coconut. Wow.

  Nose: The nose smells like a beautiful spring morning with cherry blossoms, roses, white fruits, green apples, pears, minerals, and fresh picked berries. There is excellent depth with a real freshness to the nose as well.
  
  Taste: Medium bodied with medium/high acidity. The acidity has some real punch to it, but it isn't too overpowering with cherry blossoms, white fruits, green apples, fresh picked berries, and a real nice underlying minerality.
  
  Overall: This is a gorgeous Blanc de Noirs. It shows off the class and elegance that pinot noir can bring along with a real freshness too.
