12.5% abv. Frothy mousse on pnp. Modest amount of tiny bubbles, light gold color. Lemon lime, pineapple, yeast on nose; quite elegant. Med plus mouth, vibrant and also full/mouth coating. Brioche, lemon, winter melon, straw, just the slightest hint of sweet on finish. Finish is med plus length, subtle flavors keep giving. Great find!

This has a little bit of everything I am looking for. Pretty floral nose, touch of sweet lemon-honey fruit in the middle, and nice structure. Good balance of creamy mousse and lively acidity. Seems to be built to age a bit, but already was a joy to drink.

Gorgeous nose, more tightly-knit than the straight Dhondt Blanc de Blancs (with I also admire) but with notable length, more serious structure for the long haul. This is what I expected, as far as a bump up in quality, good complexity and should only improve. I would like to revisit in 3-4 years. 93-94 points today.
