Similar yeasty and forward profile like my last bottle. This one didn't show quite the same sweet roundness though. Maybe served a little bit colder it has more focus. In any case, I liked this bottle much better, even though I think there are more interesting wines at the price point.

Biscuity and forward fruit on the nose. Moderate mousse, some citrusy acidity, but in the mouth it is mostly fairly round, and it betrays some (to my palate) excessive sugar. I think one can do much better elsewhere for the price.

Decent sparkler, just OK with nice apple and pear fruit, crisp with some blanc de noir depth. Clean and pretty basic. Price? Would make a good Kir Royale.

Apple and pear, okay, but came across a bit disjointed and a tad bit of bitterness.

An Offer of Awesome Burgundy Inspires A Day of Tasting In the Willamette Valley (Willamette Valley): Crisp green apples and pear skins appear on the nose. The wine delivers some lovely ripe apple flavors and some nice acidity. It has a good length on the finish too. Nothing crazy is going on, but this is a nice, solid, sparkler.
