Pnp at sushi restaurant with dollar store glasses. I'm not getting a ton on the nose, but with these glasses I'm not surprised. Maybe getting a little citrus but not identifiable beyond that. Good mousse and carbonation... not overpowering but very present.
On the palate this really shined with lemon dominating and perhaps a hint of biscuit with great (not overwhelming) acidity. It was definitely dry but not unpleasantly so, and was a perfect pairing for sushi. This wine begs for food pairing; not sure how much I would have enjoyed this on its own.
I haven't always been sold on zero dosage champagne, but this is changing my mind. A bit sad to see only one bottle left. Looking forward to another tasting when glassware is more suitable.

Still going strong. Great balance with bacon fat, a touch of olive and perfect acidity to counter lamb chops. Just one left….

Good crowd pleaser/cocktail wine. Not complex but a nice fruit forward pinot. Not flabby, but not sure how it would go with food.
