Critic tasting note: "AlmostChardonnay, this bubbly shows a gorgeous elegance and dry sophistication. It's all taffeta and silk, so light and airy, so drinkable. With subtle hints of lime custard, bread dough, lees and vanilla, it's one of the best blanc de blancs of this year. Drink now through 2010." - 93/100, Wine Enthusiast
