Nicely balanced sparkler with white nectarine and hints of other stone fruits, honeysuckle, and vanilla. Lightly sweet but still brut. Just a hint of citrus pith, practically no harshness. Medium length of white peach. I like this style. Outstanding value.

From the Loire, the flavors and aromas are just a bit unique. I get a rustic, leafy, sappy flavor from the base wine. Quite clear color. Maybe a little nutty and chalky. Different but very good, this one grows on you.

This is a great value in sparkling wine. Very balanced with a little yeast for character. Equal or better than many low cost champagnes and much better, to my taste, than the 30 or 40 proseccos and cavas I have tasted. Certainly superior to anything out of the USA. Great with food or alone, yet inexpensive enough to be an everyday wine or for cocktails.

Bargain Tuesday night fizz, easily outperforms its modest price.
