Tasting notes
Pale lemon green. Delicate aromas of ripe green apple, pear and lemon peel, opening up to reveal hints of biscuit and a stony character. Light and dry with a lovely firm core of acidity. The pure chardonnay shines through on the palate, with crunchy green fruit and lots of minerality. A very elegant non-vintage Blanc de Blancs with good length and a fine mousse. 17 Points FINE+RARE

Light yellow. Fresh pear, quince, Meyer lemon and chalky minerals on the high-pitched nose. Lively and precise on the palate, with juicy citrus and orchard fruit flavors braced by zesty mineral and spice qualities. Shows very good energy and cut on the gripping finish, which leaves subtle lees and floral notes behind. Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar December 2011
Revealing even more of a chalky/mineral character along with notes of wheat thins and citrus is the elegant non-vintage Brut Blanc de Blancs... This is an impressive, fuller-bodied offering than most wines of this genre. Still young and impressively endowed, it can be drunk now and over the next 5-7 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate May 2004
