April 20, 2024 - Very solid! Certainly the best non-champagne sparkler we have had.
Fine mousse, bright, light golden color. Fruit driven and fresh. Wonderful to drink.1 person found this helpful Comment -

January 10, 2024 - Fruit throughout, start to finish. Apple, pear, lime, kiwi. Elegant fine bead. Flows through the palate from start to long finish. What it lacks in bread and yeast is made up with structure, fruit and balance.

August 24, 2023 - Still a very youthful lemon yellow appearance, barely developing nose of meyer lemon, cream and toast. Beautiful palate of lemon oil and chamomile with long persistence of flavors. This is barely even at middle age, but it's nearly a 10 out of 10. Blew an Eric Rodez Cuvee des Grand Vintages off the table that cost about 50% more, but admittedly had less development in bottle. Quite remarkable how this vintage has evolved.
Evolved positively over several days, eventually turning more tropical in expression; I preferred the day 1 and 3 expressions.2 people found this helpful Comment -
