100% Chardonnay, aged 48 months on the lees. Pale yellow. The perlage is fine and persistent. Med+, youthful, nose of yellow apple, ripe lemon, almond, wet stone and vanilla. Dry (4g/L RS), crisp, w/ med (+) acidity & med alc. (12.5%). Med (+) flavor intensity and length with a really clean, mineral finish. Softer, rounder, smoother and easier drinking than many of its counterparts in Champagne, this is really a delightful sparker. Drinking well now, but definitely has plenty of aging potential.

Delicious. Has the precision and acid of a blanc de blancs, but is just a little fuller and riper, possibly with a around 9 g/L of sugar. Very well balanced.

So. This is virtually perfect. I dare you to find one better for less than $50. You cannot. Just a shockingly good value.
