Strong lemon acidity, some richness and stonefruit roundness, but the nose – caramel, butter, and almond – seemed a bit disconnected. I wasn’t expecting full-on California Chardonnay on one end or lemony bright Riesling on the other, but I was expecting something just a bit more harmonious.

Professional Ratings

92 James Suckling
This is a lively brut, full of fragrance, tending to smoothness and an accessible sensory language, with a balanced and versatile style. In the glass it is yellow in colour with greenish reflections, enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage. The nose is fresh, with floral notes of lime, shades of citrus, white peach and green pepper. The mouth is tight and crisp, fresh and vertical, full-bodied, refined and with a lingering very enjoyable finish.
