Description
This sparkling blend is comprised of roughly 97% Pinot Noir and 3% Chardonnay. It spends an extended time en tirage, which adds complexity and brings out unique characteristics. This wine is a pale straw color and has fine, persistent bubbles. It is light and flowery on the nose and has a palate dominated by lemon cream, pear, roasted cashew and a hint of nectarine.
95 points from Antonio Galloni's Vinous - one of our highest scoring Chardonnay's ever!
Delicate, persistent bubbles with flavors of citrus and tangerine tempered by mineral notes
