  This is a superb wine. It hits with quality champagne, albeit retaining its own character. Nose smells of seawater, shells, minerals, and some lemon, pear. Palate is incisively acidic, stony, with pear and lemon again.Salty, briny, built to pair with some oysters on the half shell. Long mineral finish, with just a bit of herbal astringency. If you are like me and like acidity and minerality, and very dry wines, you will love this. If you prefer a veuve or Krug style bubbly, this will disappoint you greatly.

  Nose lees and mineral, pear, lemon, lime. Palate incisively acidic with long mineral driven finish. Fruit is there - but it's not even the main focus. Such a refreshing approach to sparkling and melon de Bourgogne. Had it with oysters this time - and oooh, laaa, laaa.. A really nice sparkling wine at a good price point. Buy this by the case.

  Nose lees and mineral, pear, strawberry. Palate creamy, but incisively acidic, and long mineral driven finish. Incredibly unique approach to sparkling and melon de Bourgogne. I wish I'd had it with a plate of oysters on half shell. There's a surprising richness of fruit supported by the acid and mineral structure. This is really good. And serious enough.
