Retail $34. 45% Pinot Noir, 42% Chardonnay, 13% Pinot Meunier. The first glass of this bottle was dark, both on the nose and in the glass with a rich, layered, almost over-ripe ethos with hints of citrus and just the slightest touch of spice. While I was sent this bottle just a few years ago (2019), this really has the old Champagne vibe going on. Rich, even unctuous, with great tartness and touches of citrus on the palate. Really fantastic. 94 Points.
First time trying this producer and this was a very enjoyable bottle of sparkling. I am not sure if this is a true rose sparkler or a Bdn blend with some skin contact but the color was very, very pale salmon. Nice mix of citrus fruit with a touch of white floral notes and toast. Not as refined a mouthfeel and finish as some other producers but very tasty and enjoyable. Definitely worth the sale price paid.

The Second Annual Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine: Retail $34. 45% Pinot Noir, 42% Chardonnay, 13% Pinot Meunier. Either this is a really light rosé or a bit dark brut. Flinty and a bit of red fruit. Really nice on the palate with delicate green apple and yeast. Whoa. Yum yum yum. Outstanding. 93-95 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com

Beautiful hay-pink color.
Light bouquet
Dry with wonderful bubbles and a sweet, long finish.
A pleasant summer supper.
