Pale straw in color, this wine reveals focused apple zest brioche and white peach on the nose, combined with subtle fennel and grated cocounut aromas, minerality and crisp acidity, make this a quite enjoyable Champagne. 12% abv.
Reatailing for $65US, this was a wedding present from a trusted wine merchant. My new wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Roberto sent this one as part of a mixed case - his choice. Really nice. Bright, fresh, great bubbles - taste of some apple and hint of vanilla. Great value.

Poured as a demi-sec with panettone...it's clearly not. Nice Gran Cru BdB from several villages in Cote de Blanc. typical lemon+gypsum approach, but less typical than the millesime version.

It was just OK. Nice with the soufflé, but alone it was a little sweet and slightly syrupy.

From memory, did not take any notes
Lots of honey on the nose, some lemon juice as well. Honey again on the palate with a rather weak acid. At this price you expect more.

Drank this a week ago, enjoyed it but made no real impression. I recall notes of apples and some mineral, acidity was more discreet than expected.

Nose of brioche and some tropical fruits. Just a hint of sweetness. Nice wine and good QPR.

More great farmer fizz from Wine Expo. Very fine bubbles and classic blanc de blanc flavors of green apples. Very delicious and fun to drink.
Can't say that it always paired well with sushi; sometimes the wasabi and bubbles didn't jive.
