Unfortunately my tasting experience with all the wines from this producer is totally negative, 100% because of way too much residual sugar. This sparkler is no exception, though the bubbles help it handle the cloying, flabby sweetness a little better. There is a nice ripe pear and peach component with plenty of honey. The bubbles provide a welcome, refreshing, palate cleansing freshness, but the base wine is just too sweet to my palate. I really can't believe this producer is promoting these wines with this much sweetness, or how much the public seems to oogle over them.

Lovely, summery sparkling wine. Aromas and flavors of Meyer lemon and tangerine make for a round, fruity sparkler. Refreshing, with medium bead. Dry finish.

Fairly simple, but excellent for mixed drinks (e.g. Kir Royale).
