Not big or heavy at all, geared towards freshness and minerality but with nice honeyed ripe fruit and touches of field flowers and herbs, lovely balance and length. Good but no match for the "R" and "RR" versions.
Elegant style, fresh but with ripe red and blue Pinot fruit, hints of forest floor and spice, silky, beautifully balanced by minerality; very good length.
Bright red colour; lovely floral nose reminiscent of Gamay, violets and cherries but also white field flowers; on the palate slightly metallic, a bit rough and unknit, light and refreshing but there is something lacking; good length, cherry fruit.

France, Champagne
A popular aperitif in Michelin starred restaurants and it is easy to see why. Dry, stylish, appetising and invigorating.
