"Fully ready to drink now, this dry brut shows the classy elegance of a fine Champagne. The Chardonnay contributes white peaches and apples, while Pinot adds a subtle note of cherries with spicy, yeasty nuances. At 80,000 cases, it’s a notable achievement." 92 Points - Wine Enthusiast, December 31, 2008
"A rich version, loaded with spicy cinnamon notes. Bold apple aromas, with a whiff of yeast, lead to complex, layered pear, crème brûlée and baked apple flavors that linger." 91 points - Wine Spectator, November 15, 2009
"Golden apple hue; very active mousse. Attractive bouquet of peach, cherry and minerals. Creamy caramel and cherry flavors echo the nose with a nice backing of sweet and sour lemon-tinged acids. Tart, drying close with sharp focus and cleansing minerality." 90 points - The Wine News, December 2008 |
