Blend;50% Pinot Noir/30% Pinot Meunier/20% Chardonnay
Color; Light to moderate hay/straw, slight golden-yellow notes, slight amber notes
Aromas; lemon/lemon zest, red apples, green apples/green apple skins, hints of lemon blossom/honeysuckle, honeyed notes,
touches of tangerine and orange zest, slight peach/peach pit aromas, w/hints of almonds...very elegant, snappy aromas!!
Palate; Alot of lemon/lemon zest, followed by red apples/green aples, hints of peach and tangerine, with a very mild note
of honey/honeysuckle
Mid-Palate; the honey/honeysuckle, and mild almond notes start to show, but the lemon, apples, peaches ,and citrus really shine!
Finish; Really zesty, snappy; alot of lemon, apples, peaches and citrus, followed by a mild nuttiness
Overall; Really elegant, feminine Champagne, has a lot of character; alot of bright fruit/snappy flavors/zesty, but alittle bit of
nuttiness to support the bright fruit - had it with raw oysters - Fantastic!!
