Bone dry. Not our favorite, but a good one to share at party.

Casual Saturday Tastings (Northern Chicago 'burbs): Stand up tasting. Current release. Three vintage blend. Good volume, but slightly more tart than I'd prefer, nearly bitter.

Fruity and bready in equal measure, like a pineapple Danish. Aggressive bubbles. Nice complexity here for a budget sparkler.

Made method traditionalle and aged extensively on it's lees. This wine gives a good creamy texture and fine soft bubbles. Being that it is Chenin and from the Loire, it also has a bit of a mineral driven nature and more of the stoneftuit/honey on the palate.
