Interesting. Quite full and rounded on the attack, white burgundy with bubbles but then very flat and linear through the mid-palate and finish, doing the whole zero dosage thing. Not sure. Good aperitif and trying to be more serious, but there's something here that doesn't quite gel with me. Enjoyable but I'm not smitten. ***1/2
